This unique structure has been built
on the same lines as a steel battle
ship. It has an enormous steel franc,
the heaviest and strongest ever de-
signed FOR ship or building. From its
resemblance to a huge ship some one
nautically inclined recently figured out
that the ''fiatiron'' has sail area OF
10000 square feet. The outside of the
building is of stone.
AS everyone knows. the value OF land
in the heart of New York can be calcu-
lated as diamonds are appraised. The
plot of land on which the fiatiron

coyers-cost the builders considerably
more than s2.O00,0C0.
The structure will be an office build
ing. about a hundred rooms being on
each floor. There will be rented, also,
on some of the floors entire suites of
rooms. and on the ground floor there
will be stores to let. The building will
be fittvI with every device for the COM

the fatiron will run. 1t is said, at q

The two long sides Of the building are
On Broadway and Fifth Avenue. the two
greatest streets of America. The rear
OF the building is on Twenty-second

On the Twenty third Street side the
structure comes to point so sharp
that there is scarcely room for win

sembles the hull of q huge traus-At-
lantic steamer. The prov aims north
at the famous Madison Square, and
there is long vista up Fifth Avenue
and up Broadway. Looking in this di-
rection from one of the upper windows

look like the tiniest pigmies and the
passing cabs and electric cars like
miniature playthings.
