NEW YORK CITY 🇺🇸
Flatiron Building
The Flatiron Building, formerly known as the Fuller Building, is a triangular 22-story steel-framed landmarked building located at 175 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan’s eponymous Flatiron District neighborhood. It was one of the city’s highest buildings upon completion in 1902, with 20 floors, and one of only two “skyscrapers” north of 14th Street – the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. It was designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Dinkelberg. The building is situated on a triangular block created by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and East 22nd Street. The name “Flatiron” is derived from its similarity to a cast-iron clothes iron.
The structure, which has been described as “one of the world’s most famous buildings and a defining New York City symbol,” anchors the south (downtown) end of Madison Square and the north (uptown) end of the Ladies’ Mile Historic District. The district surrounding it is known as the Flatiron District, after its main skyscraper, which has become a New York City symbol. The Flatiron Building was declared a New York City landmark in 1966 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
