The B1M on the Flatiron Building's chequered past—and present

The Shocking Story of New York’s Strangest Tower

The Flatiron Building is a 22-story building in the Flatiron District of Manhattan, New York. It is best known for its triangular shape, which is where its name came from, and was designed by Daniel Burnham and Frederick P. Dinkelberg. The building was completed in 1902 but has had a difficult history in terms of ownership and periods where it has remained empty.

The B1M chronicled its past and its uncertain future, involving a very controversial auction. You’ll have to watch to find out what happened and what could happen with the “winning” bid.
