Others stores at the mall include 2nd & Charles, Crate & Barrel, Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, H&M, and Old Navy.įlatIron Crossing opened on Augafter two years of construction, anchored by Lord & Taylor, Galyan's, Foley's, Dillard's, and Nordstrom.

This card was never sent and there was no message written on the back. I've been looking at some of them, and what really caught my eye was that the building's profile is so thin, the images all look like a facade and nothing else, no real building, just a wall floating in air. In 1904, Edward Steichen made an early color photo that I'm probably going to put up on another of my blogs, Painters John Sloan, Childe Hassam and others have also made significant works from the Flatiron. As early as 1903, photographer Alfred Stieglitz was making photographs of the building. The Flatiron has long been an inspiration to artists. Now it's thought of as one of the most symbolic buildings of New York and has been added to the list of National Historic Landmarks. One thought it a grand place to watch a procession but a terrible place to do business.

Because of it's thin design, it was assumed that it would blow down in the first strong wind and New Yorkers made fun of it, referring to it as Burnham's folly. When it was first built it was not a loved structure by the people of New York. I will note that it was built in 1902, and was designed by Chicago architect Daniel Burnham with additional work done by Frank P. It's one of the most icon structures in the world and it doesn't take much effort to find out plenty of information. I'm not going to write much about the Flatiron Building. I'm also fairly certain that the original photograph was probably taken during the day, and the night sky, moon, and lights were all added by the colorist who prepped the image for conversion to a postcard. As I add more and more old postcards to the collection, I keep having to make a decision Was the original image a photograph or a drawing? Looking at the detail in the building's facade and the chaos of the street, I'm fairly certain it's a photo, and a fit for The New Found Photography.
