Beautiful building, but currently being renovated, the whole building is covered in scaffolding. You can still see the architecture, but it will probably be quite impossible to take a picture in front of it and see the details on the building.

Beautiful & historic district in NYC! The Flatiron building is really amazing to see in person. As of Feb 2024 there appears to be work on the building with scaffolding on the sides. Still a beautiful view as well as many other iconic historical buildings all within a couple blocks to check out!

The Flatiron Building is the characteristic triangular thin building in New York and one of the most famous buildings in the world. It is designed by American architect Daniel Burnham, construction began in 1901 and lasted a year, its shape allowing it to fit on the narrow lot at the intersection of 5th Avenue and Broadway Avenue. It has 21 floors and is 94 meters high. The name “Flatiron” comes from the building's resemblance to an old-fashioned clothes iron. However, the triangular area consisting of Broadway, Fifth Avenue, and 22nd and 23rd Streets was known as the “Flatiron” before the building was constructed. The shape of the building is not an isosceles triangle like a real iron. Still, it's a perfect triangle. Viewed from above, this pointed edge of the structure is an acute 25 degree angle. Its shape initially caused reactions, with many believing that such a thin building with such a high height could not be erected. Over the years, the building has appeared in countless movies, television shows, and commercials, cementing its place as a timeless icon of US architecture. Unfortunately the building was fully decorated in the Christmas period of 2023.

This place is pretty cool. The elevator ride up is so cool. How it shows the construction or the building. Be prepared to wait a long time to get in. The security. Heck is insanely long and most people aren’t paying attention. But it’s an amazing experience.

Iconic building . Wanted to get nice photos of it while in new york for the Christmas period. Just a shame it's currently covered in scaffolding and netting while work is going on. Kind of spoils it a bit.
