Before there was the illustrious shopping of uptown 5th Avenue, there was the Ladies' Mile of The Flatiron District. Steel-framed and reaching 22 stories, the Flatiron Building is the icon at the gate of the once favorited shopping district of the well to do "carriage trade". It also makes for a glorious moment of pause. #FlatironBuilding #NYC #Icon #LookUp #BoroughOfManhatten #23rdStreet #FifthAvenue #Broadway #RetailCommunity #LadiesMileHistoricDistrict #Community #BeauxArts #RenaissaincePalazzo #AmericanArchitecture
