Old Flat Iron Building is Being Torn Down

The Register-Leader, March 19, 1923

The building on the flat iron corner on lower Front Street is being dismantled preparatory to the building of a new structure. The old building had been one of Marietta's landmarks, having been built more than a hundred years ago, being one of Marietta's first business blocks.

A number of our readers will remember the time when that corner was the busiest place in Marietta, with Ohio Street and Greene Street as the business center. While much of the business has scattered, it is still a busy thoroughfare, more especially so since the building of the Ohio River bridge and the Norwood development.
