We loooooooved the building and if I had the money I‘d love to restore it. I have some ideas for it (including a café, restaurant, museum and hobby store). I‘d love an apartment there too. Again we didn’t win the lottery, but we’ll dream on.

I ADORE flatiron buildings, and they seem to pop up everywhere...some larger and in better repair than other. It is so sad to see this lovely structure in such disrepair. Hope someone buys it before too long and fixes it up.geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17475608100401444065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-105170975263281101.post-6383959148492219332014-03-14T00:57:37.326+00:002014-03-14T00:57:37.326+00:00I love the look of this building.
