Oft-Photographed New York Landmark Buildings

He also has an interest in capturing the street scenes and buildings that New York City offers in abundance.

One of the city’s most iconic buildings, the triangular Flatiron Building was constructed in 1902 and unlike anything that had been attempted up to that point. The narrow, angled shape was so radical that some engineering experts thought that the building would collapse in the face of a major storm. Today, the Fifth Avenue landmark remains upright and sturdy with a pedigree that includes a turn as the home of the Daily Bugle in director Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man.

Another striking landmark, the Harlem Courthouse was built in the late 19th century in a unique Romanesque Revival style that incorporated Victorian elements such as archways and gabled roofs. Also featuring an iconic belfry that has clock faces on all four sides, the building is still in public use as the Harlem Community Justice Center.
