Flatiron Building - Rochester Wiki

CC (No-Commercial) Attribute: MJM The Flatiron building, located at the corner of University Avenue and Atlantic Avenue, was built in various stages from 1888 to about 1890. The building is unique in that it's triangular, similar to the Flatiron building in NYC (but smaller) and the one in Toronto (similarly sized). The building narrows from almost 100' along its backside down to just 12' at the point.

Originally built as a boarding house, after going through several stages of both decline and renovation, the Flatiron building now holds upscale apartments and lofts along with it's many store fronts and is an important part of the Neighborhood of the Arts.

Occupants:

Starry Nites Cafe - Cafe dedicated to Van Gogh, who died the same year the Flatiron building was completed. Coincidence or Conspiracy?
Flatiron Antiques - Eclectic antique store full to the brim with all sorts of neat stuff
