The Flatiron Building is an iconic 22-story triangular-shaped steel-framed groundbreaking skyscraper. The Flatiron Building was constructed between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, one of the most prominent locations in New York City. It was one of the tallest buildings in the city with 20 floors high and among the only two skyscrapers in the north of 14th street. The pointed end of the building is just 6.5 feet wide and opens at an acute angle of roughly 25 degrees.
