A new chapter in the storied history of the Flatiron Building is set to unfold today as the New York City landmark goes up for sale at a public auction. Designed by Daniel Burnham completed in 1902 as the Fuller Building, the structure quickly became an emblem of New York with its ornate Renaissance Revival flourishes and prominent wedge-shaped design formed by the confluence of Broadway and Fifth Avenue.
