Still Highly Sought After Office Spaces
Today, the Flatiron building is dwarfed by the Manhattan skyscrapers surrounding it. All 22 floors are designated as office space. This building stands as a powerful survivor of an era gone by, with a modern and highly sought-after usage. You can be sure that if you and your company want to rent office space at the Flatiron building that you will be paying a steep price.
Even though some offices have strange angles, they offer magnificent views and are in great demand. Take note if you visit, gendered bathrooms are on alternating floors!
The Eiffel Tower Used To Be An Entrance
Paris, France, hosted the World Fair, which was also the centennial anniversary of the French revolution, in 1889. Artists were asked to submit proposals for the monument and entrance to the fair. Little did they know how far this sensational project would go in the future.
The winning proposal was submitted by Maurice Koechlin and Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel of the Eiffel et Compagnie and took 2 years to complete. Both of them also worked on the construction of the Statue of Liberty.
