Question

The Flatiron Building is one of the most famous historic landmarks in New York. The iconic twenty-one-story building, best known for its triangular shape, was one of the early spectacular high-rises that have come to define Manhattan.

The Flatiron Building was built between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of Broadway and fifth  Avenue, at the time one of the most well-known locations in New York City. It is situated near Madison Square at the end of the Ladies' Mile, one of Manhattan's most important shopping districts at the turn of the nineteenth century.

The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago's Daniel Burnham as a steelframe skyscraper clad in white terracotta. At 21 stories and 93 meters, it was one of the city's tallest buildings. Its singular shape and well known location soon made it one of New York City's most famous landmarks.

The building probably showed on more postcards than any other buildings of its time. The whole area, the Flatiron district, was even named after the building. Originally, the Flatiron Building had an observation deck on the top floor, but taller buildings have taken over this function. It is still, however, a popular tourist attraction and one of the most photographed landmarks in New York.

A. a landmark
