The first American Skyscraper was invented in Chicago by William Le Baron Jenney, The Home Insurance Building in 1885. The Home Insurance was 10 feet, built using a skeletal frame, and required a safe elevator. The building was demolished in 1931 to make way for the LaSalla Bank Building. Some say it was the Equitable Life Insurance Building in New York in 1870 by architects, Arthur Gilman and Edward H. Kendall. The Equitable was 7 feet, and used a safe elevator, but it is not confirmed that it used a skeletal frame. The building was destroyed in a fire in 1912.

I believe North American Life Insurance Company of Chicago merged into All American Life Insurance Company on 9/30/1974. All American Life Insurance Company merged into American General Life Insurance Company on 12/31/2002. So, American General now owns North American Life Insurance Company of Chicago.
