The first skyscraper in the world is the Home Insurance Building located in Chicago, Illinois. Constructed in 1885, this pioneering structure stood at a height of 138 feet (42 meters) and boasted 10 stories.
Designed by the renowned architect William Le Baron Jenney, the building utilized a revolutionary structural steel framework, enabling greater vertical construction possibilities compared to the traditional load-bearing walls of the time.
