Hi, John,

An Internet search reveals that there are several cities with a "Flat Iron"
Building.  What they all share is a general wedge-shaped floor plan, built to
occupy a troublesome space between to almost-parallel streets.

Which particular Flat Iron Building did you have in mind?  The first and most
famous one, apparently, is the one in New York City...


Just as a note, we've got one here in Toronto, too...

Funny that, although there are usually three or four people standing
around taking pictures of it at any one time, the only image of it
I could find on the web is a nighttime shot:

I happen to work a stone's throw from the intersection.
