The English American Building was constructed in 1897, by architect Bradford Gilbert, at the corner of Broad and Peachtree Streets in Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta structure adopted the name Flatiron after the popularity of the Flatiron building in New York, which is shaped the same as the English American Building. - Local Identifier:
