The Flatiron and Fifth Avenue Buildings, intersection of Broadway and Fifth Avenue, seen from Madison Square in the early 20th century in a vintage postcard (Success Postal Card Company). Flat Iron was the name of the place long before the building was completed in 1902. The Fifth Avenue Building was completed in 1909 on the same site of the historic Fifth Avenue Hotel.

The Empire State Building, then the world's tallest building, and the Brick Church on Fifth Avenue. That second temple of Brick Church was demolished in 1938 and the Church moved to the present temple in Park Avenue. Vintage postcard (image © B.B.), published by Manhattan Card Publishing Co.
