The first revolving door was installed in the NYC Time’s Square restaurant
“Rector’s” in 1899. Revolving doors are energy efficient as they prevent drafts (via acting as an airlock), thus preventing increases in the heating or cooling required for the building. At the same time, revolving doors allow large numbers of people to pass in and out.

TRUTH !!
McCartney's certificate, the first of 300 items to go on the block in a
five-hour sale, far exceeded the pre-sale estimate of $13,000. The document,
put up for sale by a record collector from California, went to an
unidentified buyer in London, auction officials said.
The certificate, which records McCartney's June 18, 1942, birth in
Liverpool, England, had first been sold by McCartney's stepmother after the
death of his father.
Julian Lennon, son of slain Beatle John Lennon, bought his father's black
cape and an Afghan coat he wore on the cover of the "Magical Mystery Tour"
album sleeve.
Bids for the Steinway piano on which Lennon composed the hit song "Imagine,"
expected to fetch up to $500,000, barely reached half that figure. The piano
owner, however, bought the run-down Liverpool house where Ringo Starr was
born for $21,140.
