cast iron architecture

There is only one cast iron building in Milwaukee (that I know of). This page says there is a similar one in New York City, but there is also one at the bottom of Lake Michigan, since the ship sank that was bringing the first one to Milwaukee.

Would the 1 NY building that's left be the Flatiron Building?

Nope. That one is called that because of its resemblance to an iron (the home appliance). There are quite a few other cast iron buildings in NYC, though.

I'll have to re-read my book about the history of apartment buildings in NYC....
