 * =Facts= ||
 * - || Flatiron's ornate but restrained facade is composed of stone and terra-cotta panels whose forms simulate the effects of rustication. ||
 * - || Bearing the influence of architectural trends introduced at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago, Burnham's eye-catching design combined elements of French and Italian Renaissance architecture. ||
 * - || The developer built the skyscraper as a speculative project with the intention of renting out offices to various commercial and financial enterprises which was unusual at this time. ||
 * - || The building's triangular plan was a clever response to the awkward site produced by the intersection of Broadway and 5th Avenue. ||
 * - || This steel-framed terra-cotta and stone-clad skyscraper represents the developers' first (and ultimately unsuccessful) attempt to create a new business center north of Wall Street. ||
 * - || It replaced a trapezoid-shaped building of around 8-10 stories. ||
 * - || The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. ||
 * - || One of the city's most famous landmarks, a postcard depicting this building is a must-have in the inventory of nearly all New York City's souvenir shops. ||
