Flatiron Building

Also called the Fuller Building, it is unique with its triangular shape that splits Broadway and Fifth Avenues at Twenty-Third Street. Designed by Chicago famed architect Daniel Burnham and constructed in 1902, it used the unheard of steel frame design. This twenty-two story skyscraper follows that of Beaux Arts style. A late nineteenth century design approach that was meant to reflect the buildings of Europe's past. Considered by many as the oldest remaining skyscraper in New York City, it is worth a visit for anyone interested in architecture or urban design.
