(Architekt: Walker & Gillette, 1929) Stil: Art Deco
The Fuller Building or as it is better known, the Flatiron Building, was one of the tallest buildings in New York City upon its completion in 1902. Designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham with John Wellborn Root in the Beaux-Arts style, it also bears the influence of architectural trends introduced at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, combining elements of French and Italian Renaissance. Its triangular plan was a clever response to the awkward site produced by the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue at at 23rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway, facing Madison Square.
1902's iconic Flatiron Building (aka The Fuller Building) where 5th Avenue meets Broadway and 23rd Street.
Then, as always, real estate in New York was precious, and every plot was used to its fullest- which in the case of the triangular property of the Flatiron, gave the structure its full-known and revolutionary shape.

This is the impressive front entrance to the Fuller Building, on 57th Street. The figures were sculpted by Elie Nadelman.
There's a critique of the building, built in 1929 by Walker and Gillette architects, at the City Review.
Sadly, this is the last of my New York City pictures to process from this trip. I hope I may have the pleasure of working my way through another trip's photographs before too long though :)

As I've been very busy for the last month and didn't have the opportunity to take any pictures I asked my wife and daughter to do so on their trip last week.
One of New York's great icons that rarely gets a closeup, it points north up past Madison Square Park.
Beloved, much-photographed, and apparently now owned by Italians.
