The Fuller Building, known as the Flatiron for its wedge-shaped lot where Broadway crosses Fifth Avenue at 23rd Street, is shown here from the north, looking south toward its narrow point. Designed by Daniel Burnham and completed in 1902, the steel-frame tower was among the first skyscrapers in the city to rise so dramatically above the surrounding low buildings. The building quickly became a symbol of modern New York, and its unusual shape drew crowds and early tall tales about the gusts of wind swirling around its corner. This halftone reproduction comes from a book of New York views published around 1905.
