Answer 1

Further expansions led to the world's first skyscraper, the ten-story Home Insurance Building in Chicago, constructed in 1884–1885. It is the so-called “Father of the Skyscraper”. While its tallness of 138 feet is not measured very remarkable today, it was at that time. The designer of the building was Major William Le Baron Jenney.
