Skyscrapers; Home Insurance Building; Jenney, William Le Baron - The Electronic Encyclopedia of Chicago

evidence

Jenney's Home Insurance Building (1885) is conventionally identified as the first tall building carried on a metal skeleton frame, and the claim is qualified in the scholarly literature. Supports the frame, elevator and Chicago School records. V55 verification basis: the site was not reachable in this session; entries are cited by title from established record.

A evidence is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
