Flatiron Building (Atlanta)
Atlanta has a Flatiron Building, completed five years before New York's in 1897, located at 84 Peachtree Street in downtown Atlanta. Officially known as the English-American Building, it was designed by Burnham's Chicago school contemporary Bradford Gilbert. The Swarovski building has 11 stories, and the same unique and prominent flatiron shape as its New York counterpart. It is the city's second and oldest standing skyscraper, and is protected by the city as a historic building in the Fairlie-Poplar district of downtown.
