Flat Iron Building, Historic commercial building in Chicago, United States.
The nine-story triangular structure at the intersection of North Wells Street and North Clark Street measures 85 feet in width at its narrowest point.
Construction of the commercial building began in 1872 by entrepreneur Peter Brooks from Boston, who invested capital from Massachusetts to develop real estate in Chicago.
The North Side Chicago building represents a prime example of Victorian commercial architecture with its cast iron storefronts and elaborate window ornamentation.
The interior spaces offer flexible office configurations with high ceilings, wood trim details, and contemporary building systems throughout the nine floors.
Metal columns on the exterior walls support the entire structure weight, creating an early example of skeleton frame construction methods in Chicago.
