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.
The rear of the building along East 22nd Street. From this angle the three parts of the Greek column can be easily seen.
