    Flat Iron
    Flat Iron is for me the most beautiful building I have seen. You really think, when you see it from a special perspective, it is really flat all in all.

    A strange triangular structure, but this is the first high-rising building that was built in NY. A humble start...

    Considered odd and kind of goofy when it was built by Daniel Burnham in 1902 (it was once called Burnham's Folly), this limestone clad building was one of New York's first skyscrapers and is now one of the city's icons. To some it evokes the presence of a large oceanliner as you see it while driving down Broadway.
    An interesting fact is, however that the first (although somewhat smaller) Flat Iron building was built in downtown Atlanta 5 years earlier, which was completed in 1897.

    Constructed in 1902 & one of the first buildings to use a steel frame, the building soon became known as the Flatiron due to its unusual shape.

    It is an amazing sight when you see it up close for the first time.

    Don't forget to have a look at the Flatiron Building. It's steps away from the Empire State Building. All within walking distance.
