On This Day: Birthday Series - March 23rd - (A) Roger Bannister & 1st Elevator was Installed - White glossy mug

On March 23rd, we celebrate the accomplishments of two individuals who left significant marks in their respective fields. Roger Bannister, born in 1929, was an English middle-distance athlete and neurologist who became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes, a feat achieved on May 6, 1954. His record-breaking performance in athletics is remembered as one of the greatest achievements in the history of sports.

Also on March 23rd, we also acknowledge a pivotal moment in architectural and engineering history. Elisha Otis installed the first safety elevator in New York City at 488 Broadway in 1857. This innovation revolutionized the building industry and made modern skyscrapers a feasible and safe proposition, forever changing the urban landscape.
