One of the most remarkable buildings in New York, the Flatiron Building is one of the oldest skyscrapers of the city, and truly unique in its appearance.
Flatiron Building is one of the oldest skyscrapers of Manhattan, and when it was finished at the beginning of the 20th century, it was by far the tallest building in the neighbourhood. Initially called Fuller Building after the founder of the company that financed its construction, it was designed by Daniel Burnham of Chicago, in the Beaux Arts style: neo-classical architecture originating in Paris. A steel skeleton, a new method for the era, allowed Flatiron Building to be as tall as it is at 87 metres, and in the shape it is. Its peculiar shape results in turbulence at street level - there was a time when policemen warned male pedestrians not to look at women whose skirts were raised unexpectedly by the wind currents around 23rd Street. It has always fascinated people, and still now is one of the landmark buildings of New York.
