The Flatiron Building, originally the Fuller Building, is a 22-story, 285-foot-tall steel-framed triangular building at 175 Fifth Avenue in the Flatiron District neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick P. Dinkelberg, and sometimes called, in its early days, "Burnham's Folly", it was opened in 1902. The building sits on a triangular block formed by Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and East 22nd Street—where the building's 87-foot back end is located—with East 23rd Street grazing the triangle's northern peak. The name "Flatiron" derives from its triangular shape, which recalls that of a cast-iron clothes iron.
