"The Flatiron"

The Flatiron Building is a famous triangular skyscraper located in New York City, completed in 1902. Its distinctive wedge shape resembles a flat iron, which is how it got its name. Standing about 22 stories tall, it was one of the tallest buildings when constructed and is celebrated for its unique architecture and historical significance. The building’s narrow, pointed design helps maximize space on a tight urban lot, and it has become an iconic symbol of New York’s architectural innovation and cityscape. The Flatiron continues to attract visitors and remains an important example of early 20th-century modern design.
