The Flatiron buildingis also knon as the Fuller building. It is located on 5th Avenue between 23rd Street and 22nd Street. It was completed in 1902 with 21 floors and 285 feet tall. The designer of the Flatiron were Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root.This early modern Chicago style building was constructed with steel frames, stone a terra cota panels. The facade of hte building is made of limesone wich is a sedimentary rock wich is manufactured of lime,carbon dioxide, and cement. This building is very lnown around hte word for its style in construction. It is know as a flatiron becauase if its shape and renaissance architecture features. What i like about this building is its formation and the arche on the windows at the upper levels.
