This Art Nouveau building Beaux Arts whose facade is divided horizontally into three parts. The entire facade is elaborately decorated with designs and motifs reminiscent of French and Italian Renaissance architecture. Tiene una forma triangular distintiva.
The building stands 285 (67 m) feet tall, with 22 stories. The pointy end of the building is only 6.5 feet (1.98 m) wide and opens up to an acute angle of roughly 25 degrees. The triangular-shaped structure is located on an entire block, bounded by Fifth Avenue, 23rd Street, and Broadway, facing Madison Square.
The Flatiron Building in New York is undoubtedly one of the most striking, renowned and beautiful skyscrapers in the city. Its footprint is a triangle and thus somewhat reminiscent of an iron – hence its name, the Flatiron. It has long been a sought-after picture for photographers – especially with its beautiful antique clock in the foreground. The building is perfectly shaped with the streets of the city – it completely fills the triangle formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and 23rd Street.

When construction on the building began, local residents became interested immediately, placing bets on how far the debris would spread when the wind knocked it down. The steel framework of triangular Flatiron Building was not particularly innovative, but engineers, Purdy & Henderson, had to strengthen it to deal with the wind, as the building was quite narrow and therefore had less volume to resist. Nevertheless, the wind was a factor in the public attention the building received.
The building is of historical significance to New York City, designed by architect Daniel Burn and built in 1902. The developer built the skyscraper as a speculative project with the intention of renting offices in various financial and commercial enterprises, which was unusual at that time. The Flatiron represents a first attempt by builders to create a new business center north of Wall Street. Today, it is purely an office building.
The Flatiron Building is so iconic the whole district is named after the building – the Flatiron District of Manhattan. The district forms a rectangle that is bordered by 20th Street to the south; Seventh Avenue and to the west; 25th Street to the north; and Lexington Avenue to the east. Local residents used to refer to the triangular lot bounded by Broadway, and Fifth Avenue, and 22nd and 23rd Street as the "Flat Iron" (with its shape resembling that of a household clothes iron). When the building was constructed, the nickname stuck.
