The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago architect in the Beaux-Arts - Chicago Early Modern style and built in 1902. Originally the called the Fuller Building, it gained it's name because it resembled a 19th century cast-iron clothing iron. At the time of its construction, in the fashionable Madison Square district of Manhattan, at 21 stories and 285' high it was one of the tallest buildings in Manhattan.
