TRUTH !!
A skyscraper is a continuously habitable high-rise building that has over 40
floors and is taller than approximately 150 m (492 ft).
Historically, the term first referred to buildings with 10 to 20 floors in
the 1880's. The definition shifted with advancing construction technology
during the 20th century. Skyscrapers may host commercial offices or
residential space, or both. For buildings above a height of 300 m (984 ft),
the term supertall skyscrapers can be used, while skyscrapers reaching
beyond 600 m (1,969 ft) are classified as megatall Skyscrapers.
The world's first skyscraper was the Home Insurance Building in Chicago,
erected in 1884-1885. The so-called “Father of the Skyscraper” towered all
of 10 stories with its peak at 138 feet, miniature by today's standards but
gargantuan at that time.
