The Flatiron Building – New York The Flatiron Building, originally known as the Fuller Building is a triangular 22-story landmarked building situated at 175 Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District neighborhood of Manhattan. Designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick Dinkelberg, it was one of the tallest buildings in the city upon its completion in 1902 at 20 floors high. The Flatiron building’s Renaissance style facade is clad with limestone tile in some panels, and includes ornate Greek columns made of prefabricated terracotta elements fitted onto a steel curtain wall structure. 3,500 tons of original Carnegie structural steel was used for the building’s skeleton while the floors were constructed of arched terra-cotta slabs throughout.
