Peter Ellis (1805–1884)[1] was a British architect and inventor of the paternoster lift from Liverpool. He is best-known for designing Oriel Chambers, built in 1864, which is the world's first building to feature a metal-framed glass curtain wall.[2] For this achievement he appears in the Guinness Book of Records.[3]
From the mid-1840s he lived at 40 Falkner Square, a house which he designed and on which an English Heritage Blue Plaque is now sited.
