Researching the flatiron building is not something that is easy. You can find current information but it was hard for me to find information about the building from back then. I knew it was hotel so that’s where I started to research. A lot of things happened with that one block. A lot of incidents and things being shut down. These sources are helping find a time where the flatiron building became known as its know today even before the hotel. I know who owned it before and how they took care of the building and the areas around it.
