Le Flatiron Building, anciennement « Fuller Building », est un immeuble de bureaux situé dans l'arrondissement de Manhattan à New York, plus précisément dans le quartier de Midtown, au carrefour de la 23e rue, 5e avenue et Broadway, face à Madison Square. Il compte vingt-deux étages et mesure 87 mètres de hauteur. Cet immeuble a donné son nom au quartier qui l'entoure, le Flatiron District.
Le terme « flatiron » signifie « fer à repasser ». Sa forme caractéristique est due au croisement à cet endroit de la 5e avenue avec Broadway qui est la seule avenue de New York ne respectant pas le plan d'alignement avec croisements à angles droits des autres artères. En conséquence, il a fallu construire un immeuble en pointe à l'intersection.
L'immeuble est construit selon un plan triangulaire, dessiné par l'architecte américain Daniel Burnham, qui appartenait à l'école de Chicago. Ce dernier a choisi le style Beaux-Arts et développé les ordres grecs classiques. Les trois façades sont divisées horizontalement en trois parties.
Le Flatiron building est classé site historique national (National Historic Landmark) en 1989.

One of the most prominent crossroads in New York is this one where Broadway crosses the 5th Avenue at Madison Square Park. The neighbourhood is even named after this building which is standing like a figurehead on the corner; Flatiron Building.
The backlight and the odd cloudy sky made taking photos of this corner and building not easy and we didn't know we came back to this place later this week.
Flatiron Building
The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City, and is considered to be a groundbreaking skyscraper. Upon completion in 1902, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city at 21 floors high, and one of only two skyscrapers north of 14th Street – the other being the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company Tower, one block east. The building sits on a triangular island-block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway and East 22nd Street, with 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern (uptown) peak. As with numerous other wedge-shaped buildings, the name "Flatiron" derives from its resemblance to a cast-iron clothes iron.
The building, which has been called "[o]ne of the world's most iconic skyscrapers, and a quintessential symbol of New York City", anchors the south (downtown) end of Madison Square and the north (uptown) end of the Ladies' Mile Historic District. The neighborhood around it is called the Flatiron District after its signature building, which has become an icon of New York City. The building was designated a New York City landmark in 1966, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
