Answer:

The statement is true.

The design of the limestone and terracotta facade of Daniel Burnham's Flatiron iron Building was influenced by the past with columns, face masks and curving arche.

Explanation:

• Flatiron Building (earlier known as Fuller Building) which was built by Daniel H. Burnham (1902) is the characteristic building (skyscrape)  in New York.
• Flatiron Building was referred to as a plant, its wedges recall the shape of a home plate at the time by the founder of the company.
• The complete concept of the building relies on the principle of classical Greek column, base, main body and capital.
• The building is usually divided into 3 elements, supported by rustic beige limestone  with copper clad windows, the body in light brick and rare terracotta on the wavy bay windows and thus the capital.
• Projecting arches and columns are supported by a cornice and a level roof topped with balustrade. The character of the Greek column  was enhanced by the semicircular arch, creating the illusion of a colossal freestanding column.
