The Flatiron Building (or Fuller Building, as it was originally called) 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 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 anchors the south (downtown) end of Madison Square and the north (uptown) end of the Ladies' Mile Historic District. The neighbourhood 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.

Today I traveled to NYC with the CEO and Treasurer of the Board of the YMCA of PA. We traveled up to check in with a donor who has very generously agreed to support the State Y. His donation made it obvious to us that he was not necessarily a "small fish", but we realized what we were into as we climbed he two flights of stairs to his office. This is the view from the stairwell of his building. The view from his office is this impressive in all four cardinal directions. His office is "the penthouse" of this beautiful and historic building just off of 5th avenue (the Fuller Building... not the Flatiron Building, but Fuller's second building). We had our business meeting overlooking Central Park and then walked a few blocks to the Knickerbocker Club for lunch (we had the business meeting at the office because papers are not permitted on the tables at the Club.) The Club was everything one could hope for in a NYC gentleman's club. We had lunch in the women's dining room because women are not permitted in the main dining room. The mushroom bisque was delicious and the chopped chef salad was wonderful. It was the sort of place where a check never came (I assume it was added to his tab) and our menu's didn't have prices (although his did). I simply cannot imagine the previous CEO that took this guy to lunch at a Chinese restaurant.
We walked him back to his office and power-walked back to Penn Station. We were only in the city for 5 hours and we walked almost 5 miles (not great for those of us who don't live in heels anymore... ouch). It was fun to feel all city-fied again!

The Flatiron Building, located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, New York City.

Very impressive design and some very impressive tenants. Reminiscent of the monolith in "2001: A Space Odyssey".
Fifth Avenue (running down the middle of the image) and Broadway (angled from Fifth Avenue) create the triangle-shaped Flatiron District.
Madison Square Park is in the lefthand corner, the Flatiron Building (Fuller Building) is in the foreground, and the Chelsea neighborhood is to the west of (to the right of) Fifth Avenue.
The nice thing about New York (for Europeans anyway) is that it almost feels like you're walking around on a movie set. You know a lot of landmarks and famous places, because you've seen the movies or series they feature in. The Flatiron Building is one of those places I just happened to come across while on one of my walks through NYC, going nowhere in particular. I love that moment when you realise 'that's it!!' and it always makes my day.
