New York likes to claim that they are the originators of the skyscraper. The residents of the Windy City would disagree. Normally, the ongoing feud between the two iconic American cities is one based solely on opinion: Whose pizza is better? The origin of Second City? The better sports franchises? In this one debate, there’s clearly a factual winner! This Chicago Ultra Cotton Adult Sleeveless T-Shirt celebrates Chicago: home to the country’s first skyscraper! In 1885, the nine story Home Insurance Building was built, an architectural milestone for the time. Chicago: 1; New York: 0!
The nine story tall Home Insurance Building was seen as a massive achievement for the time. It has since been demolished, but Chicago has more than made up for their first skyscraper’s absence. My Desteenation honors this metropolis, home to the second tallest building in North America, with this state Ultra Cotton Adult Sleeveless T-Shirt! New York may have their Freedom Tower, but the Windy City boasts the more iconic Sears Tower. We know the official name for the eighth tallest building in the world is Willis Tower. But for all true Chicagoans the name remains the same: Sears!
