The birth of the skyscraper in Chicago in the mid-1880s introduced a new direction for city architecture: upwards. But how - and why- was it that Chicago set the standard for high-rise buildings, not only across the USA but all over the world? This title introduces the style of the First Chicago School from 1880 to 1910.
