Description
Office workers rush by The Flatiron Building (or Fuller Building, as it was originally called) at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City. The building was considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city and one of only two skyscrapers north of 14th Street, the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. The building sits on a triangular island-block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak.
The name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron.
