==History== [[File:Fenlon Place elevator 1940.tif|thumb|Fenelon Place Elevator in 1940]] A predecessor to the Fourth Street Elevator was built in 1882 for the private use of local banker and former state senator J.K. Graves. The funicular was opened to the public in 1884, charging 5 cents per ride. After several fires, the existing funicular was rebuilt in 1893 on the footprint of the 1882 incline; the 1893 funicular inaugurated the use of the [[cable railway|cable car]] technology that continues in use.<ref name="Elevator">{{cite web|url=http://www.dbq.com/fenplco/history.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020428144054/http://www.dbq.com/fenplco/history.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2002-04-28 |title=Fenelon Place Elevator Company History |work=Fenelon Place Elevator Company |access-date=2011-11-06 }}</ref>
