Flatiron Building Under Construction, 1902
View south toward Fifth Avenue and E. 23rd Street, with a portrait of the Flatiron Building under construction, 1902. Completed that same year, the Flatiron -- also known as the Fuller Building, after George A. Fuller, whose company constructed it -- was one of the tallest buildings in New York City. Today it remains an immediately recognizable icon of New York.
