Invention Of The Flatiron Building The Flatiron Building was constructed between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of Broadway and 5th Avenue, at the time one of the most prominent sites. At 21 stories and 307 ft (93 meter), it was one of the city's tallest buildings. Once New York City's most famous skyscraper, the Fuller Building, will be forever known as the Flatiron Building because its triangular shape, only six feet wide at its rounded narrow end, resembles a flat iron.

Architectural Design The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham as a steel-frame skyscraper clad in white terra-cotta. It was not - as is often incorrectly thought - the tallest building in the world or even the tallest building in New York (these titles belonged to the Park Row building, built in 1899), but its singular shape and prominent location soon made it one of New York City's most famous landmarks The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham as a steel-frame skyscraper clad in white terra-cotta.
