Flatiron District Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The Flatiron Building seen through emerging spring foliage and blossoms in Madison Square Park, New York. The triangular-shaped building, designed by Daniel Burnham, one of the early masters of skyscraper form, was the subject of some controversy when it was finished in 1902. Many people expected that its thin edge and height would cause it to topple over. As you can see, it has remained upright for 113 years.
