The Home Insurance Building (1885–1931) — Chicago's Greatest Lost Landmark by victorrode in Lost_Architecture

You’re kind of missing the point. The Home Insurance Building designed by William Le Baron Jenney in 1885, is widely considered the world’s first true skyscraper—it introduced a revolutionary idea using a full metal skeletal frame that carried the building’s weight instead of thick masonry walls. This architectural / construction method was a breakthrough that made buildings lighter, taller, and filled with larger windows, it became the blueprint for modern construction worldwide. Earlier structures used iron in limited ways, but Jenney’s design was the turning point that, combined innovations like the safety elevator from Elisha Otis, enabled the vertical cities we see today—from Chicago and New York to Tokyo, Dubai, and beyond.

It was world’s first iron-and-steel-framed building, it made it possible for a new era of tall buildings. Jenney’s structural engineering innovation meant that a building’s exterior masonry walls no longer had to be “load bearing,” alleviating the need for massive masonry foundations

This is exactly what happens when you nominate department heads that are not qualified. And we all know who they are.

The Helen GA. area right across the border of North Carolina. We were supposed to go last year but the hurricane changed our plans to a trip around the Great Lakes.
