The Flatiron Building

Built as the Fuller Building in 1902. The design of the 22-story building came from the triangular shaped lot. Referred to as the 'Flatiron Building' because of its resemblance to the old cast iron clothes iron.

 

Designed by David Burnham of Chicago. The 'Chicago School' influence can be seen by the building's classic Greek column facade which is divided into a base, shaft and capital.

 

Looking north up Broadway toward the rear and east sides of the building.
