The Flatiron Building in NYC is considered to be the first and oldest skyscraper in the city, although many would dispute this claim. It is 285 feet tall, 21-stories tall and is undoubtedly one of the most recognizable buildings in the world.

With its unusual and aerodynamic shape, the Flatiron, located at E. 23rd Street between where 5th Avenue and Broadway cross, is responsible for creating one of the windiest intersections in NYC. In the years following its 1902 completion, loiterers were famous at this intersection for trying to catch a glimpse of a windblown bare ankle or two of women pedestrians. Crazy, crazy New Yorkers.
