The following text is for questions 20 to 23.

The Flatiron Building is one of the most famous historic landmarks in New York. The

iconic twenty-one story building, best known for its triangular shape, was one of the

early spectacular high-rises that have come to define Manhattan.

The Flatiron Building was constructed between 1901 and 1903 at the intersection of
Broadway and Fifth Avenue, at the time one of the most prominent locations in New
York City. It is situated near Madison Square at the end of the Ladies’ Mile, one of
Manhattan’s most important shopping districts at the turn of the nineteenth century.

The Flatiron Building was designed by Chicago’s Daniel Burnham as a steel-frame
skyscraper clad in white terra-cotta. At 21 stories and 93 meters, it was one of the
city’s tallest building. Its singular shape and prominent location soon made it one of
New York City’s most famous landmarks.
The building probably featured on more postcards than any other building of its time.
The whole area, the Flatiron district, was even named after the building. Originally the
Flatiron Building featured an observation deck on the top floor, but taller buildings
have taken over this function. It is still, however, a popular tourist attraction, and one
of the most photographed landmarks in New York.
