Completed in 1926, Asheville's Flat Iron Building stands on the unique triangular plot of land at the intersection of Wall Street and Battery Park Avenue. Its distinctive shape resembles the much larger and more famous Flatiron Building in New York City, a testament to the architectural trends of the early 20th century. Its construction added a touch of metropolitan flair to downtown Asheville, housing a variety of retail shops and offices.
