Flatiron Building



The flatiron Building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham and completed in 1902. At the vertex, the triangular tower is only 6.5 feet (2 m) wide, standing in out in the block like formation of New York seperationg the heavy traffic on broadway either side. This building is a unique an iconic and an easily recognizable symbol of the city.
Fact- When the building was firt built locals took an immediate interest in the building placing bets on how far the debris would spread when the wind knocked it down.
