Description
The red-brick Gooderham Building (commonly referred to as the Flatiron Building) is a historic landmark of Toronto, Ontario, Canada located at 49 Wellington Street East. It is wedged between Front Street and Wellington Street, where they join up to form a triangular intersection. It was completed in 1892 and is an iconic Toronto Vista. I think it's stunning and this is my one of several shots I have of it.
The previous building was shorter, but in the same shape, and was called the Coffin Block. The current building was built by architect David Roberts, Jr. and originally cost $18,000 ($18,000!!) to construct for distiller George Gooderham, son of Gooderham and Worts distillery founder William Gooderham. It was the office of the Gooderham & Worts distillery until 1952, and sold by the Gooderham Estate in 1957 (source:Wikipedia).
