~_~The Flat Iron Building~_~



The Flat iron Building is also known as the Fuller building. It was made in 1902 by two men named Daniel Burnham and John Wellborn Root.The Building is 285 feet (87m) and has 22 floors.The architecture is in the Beux Arts style. The building is made out of a steel skeleton, limestone, and glazed terra cotta. The color or the Flat Iron building is beige, brown, and gray. The building is shaped like a triangle. It has a statue of two people and a lion at the point of one of the edges of the triangle. Also the building has carvings of people and animals faces ingraved into it. When we first saw it we thought it looked very original and there was no other building like it. We liked the shape of it the more than any thing. If we could change anything I think we would have to make the carvings of the people and animals more noticeable.
