Built by a businessman in 1907, the elevator has been in use despite its slow pace. Because it was not easy to reach Khalil Rifaat Pasha at the beginning of the century. You had to choose between a long hiking trail and 155 stairs to climb. Both alternatives were impossible for people. The first and unique elevator in Turkey was purchased by Trader Serif Remzi Reyent for Izmir in 1942. It was donated to the municipality in 1983. The mechanism was converted into electricity in 1985.
