The Flatiron Building is famed for its sharply triangular shape. When it was completed in 1902, it was one of the tallest skyscrapers in the city. It sits at the inside apex of the intersection of 5th Avenue and Broadway and was built using a steel skeleton, a technique that was not widely used at the time and that allowed it to reach 22 stories. At its most narrow end (the end facing us in the photo), the building is a scant six feet wide.

This image was shot in 1900 and was taken from Dey Street looking up toward Broadway. Today this spot is a block from where the World Trade Center towers stood. Broadway, a major thoroughfare even then, was packed with trolley cars with the occasional horse-drawn cart on the side. It's amazing to see that many trolley cars in one place — there are at least 15 cars that I can see just on a stretch of five or six blocks.
