"The Flat Iron Building"

[Gus Cobos]

The Flatiron Building, or Fuller Building as it was originally called, is located at 175 Fifth Avenue in the borough of Manhattan, and is considered to be one of the first skyscrapers ever built. Upon completion in 1902 it was one of the tallest buildings in New York City. The building sits on a triangular island block at 23^rd Street, Fifth Avenue, and Broadway, anchoring the south downtown end of Madison Square. The neighborhood around the building is called the Flatiron District after its signature building. Tourist visiting the Island call it The Flat Iron Building because it resembles an iron…:o
