I have been debating with my friends for some weeks now. When constructed in 1902, was the Flatiron Building the tallest building in the World/New York?

  Well, neither. In 1902, the tallest one in the world was either the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Park Row Building in NYC (depending on the definition of a "building").
