Beschreibung:

The Home Insurance Building, completed in 1885 in Chicago, Illinois, is considered one of the first skyscrapers ever built, standing at 10 stories and later expanded to 12. Designed by William Le Baron Jenney, the building was revolutionary for its use of a steel frame construction, which allowed for taller structures and would come to define modern architecture and urban development.
