The first
skyscraper
, erected in
Chicago
in
1885
. The
building
is small in
comparison
to today's
skyscrapers
; it consists of only eleven
stories
and one
basement
(nine stories in the original
construction
and two stories added at a later date). The
Home Insurance Building
was the
groundbreaking
structure
to truly introduce a load-carrying
infrastructure
, developed by
architect
Major William Le Baron Jenney
, setting the
foundation
(no
pun
intended) for future
architects
and
skyscrapers
.
