The Home Insurance Building

The Home Insurance Building in Chicago, Illinois was the world's tallest building from 1885 to 1905. The building is considered to be the first modern skyscraper due to its steel frame construction versus stone material. The original ten-story building rose to a height of 138 feet. Two additional floors added in 1890. The building was demolished in 1931.
