Flatiron Building, New York (1902)
Daniel Burnham
Placed on a prominent, triangular site, this steel-framed structure owed much to the classical influence of the day. It has a well-defined base and a shaft and a Sullivanesque (Louis Sullivan+Romanesque) capital, which were all well composed in a single, powerful volume. The 20 or so stories rose majestically from the sharp corner site and established a model for later tall buildings.
