Explanation

Chicago's Home Insurance Building, completed in 1885, is considered the first skyscraper due to its innovative use of steel frame construction. It stood 10 stories tall and demonstrated that buildings could rise higher than traditional masonry allowed. The Twin Towers came much later, and Life Insurance Building is not recognized as the first.
