Flatiron Building of Belfast

This flatiron-shaped building on an odd corner lot caught my eye as I walked along the east side of the City Centre. Unfortunately, it sits on the far edge of the pedestrianized area of the town center and along a multi-lane street and underground parking exit, which limits activity around it. I think the turret-like end, coned roof, and cream city brick arches above the windows give the building a lot of character.

Less the height and prominent location, it reminds me of the Daniel Burnham's "Flatiron Building" on Fifth Avenue in New York built at the very beginning of the 20th century.
