Flatiron.4

[Fiona Shnapple]

Silly me, the building, as I said, was done by labor, much more on this
later.

Here, I want to follow the money, the financing, a very complex thing, but
two names I want here are, Rockefeller, oil, and not fuller, but Newhouse,
gold. The Newhouse brothers invested in gold mining, them in NYC real
estate, including this wedge of land where the flatiron, originally, the
fuller, was erected.
