Designed by Calvert Vaux, the complex impresses with elaborate staircases, intricately decorated sandstone reliefs, and the famous Bethesda Fountain with the "Angel of the Waters" statue.

The Flatiron Building was constructed in 1902 and is one of New York's most distinctive landmarks. Due to its unusual triangular footprint, the building resembles an iron, from which its name is derived. With its innovative steel frame construction and its location at the intersection of Fifth Avenue, Broadway, and 23rd Street, the Flatiron Building quickly became a symbol of modern architecture.
