At the corner of 23rd street, directly in front of the dramatic Flatiron building, we come upon the Fifth Avenue Building Street Clock. It is an enduring symbol of New York, and one of the most popular attractions in New York City for tourists and photographers alike.
The Flatiron clock was installed in 1909, just years after the completion of the Flatiron building in the background. This street clock was designated a New York City landmark in 1981.
