Chicago, where every corner tells a story, and every story becomes a legend✨ 💡Chicago is home to the world's first skyscraper. The Home Insurance Building, completed in 1885, is widely considered to be the first skyscraper ever constructed. Designed by architect William Le Baron Jenney, it stood at 138 feet (42 meters) tall and featured a structural steel frame, which allowed it to support its own weight and withstand strong winds. This innovative design paved the way for the construction of taller and more ambitious skyscrapers in the future, making Chicago a pioneer in modern architecture. 👉🏻Share this with someone you'd love to visit Chicago with!😍 📸: photobyfarad 📍: Chicago #Chicago #chicagotrips #chicagolovers #chicagovisits #chicagotravel
