History of the Flatiron Building (Zoom)    NEW!

The Fuller Building, more commonly known as the Flatiron Building, was never the tallest in Manhattan, but it was one of the first to be built with a steel skeleton. It was so skinny on its north end that men and women of 1902 thought it might topple over. Learn other fun facts (like the phrase “23 skidoo” was coined on its corner) in this one-hour virtual lecture with tour guide Ginny Poleman.

Please be sure to register by the day before the class at the latest. You will receive an invitation email with a link to join the Zoom meeting.
