Completed in 1892, the red-brick edifice was an early example of a prominent flatiron building. It’s a beautiful flat building that is the focal point of one of Toronto’s most iconic vistas: looking west down Front Street towards the building's prominent rounded corner, framed on the sides by the heritage commercial blocks along Front Street, and with the skyscrapers of the Financial District towering in the background.

Amazing landmark of Toronto to take a picture. The building’s design is very unique and I haven’t seen one like this before. There is paid parking close to here.

Iconic historic building in Toronto, Canada, aka Gooderham building. Romanesque revival style, built around 1891 (about 10 years before NY Flatiron building). The first Otis elevator installed in North America is inside, but sadly no tours permitted. Just a few mins walk from St. Lawrence Market and there is cool park around the corner.

Amazing place! Very gothic and photogenic! Must visit if you want best photos in Toronto!

Finally I made it!! Been here from last 6 years and tried many times to visit but couldn’t. Today I took my son along with me and we had loads of fun in “other” part of Toronto!♥️Bonus was St Lawrence Market but lots of constructions going on and we had to walk a lot due to stroller as the sidewalks were closed

If you drop by the sunset you’ll get amazing shots of this iconic building in Toronto. Surrounding a couple of must-seens the Gooderham building is a stop you must do when visiting!

What a beautiful building! The Gooderham Building is an icon in Toronto, with the backdrop of buildings in the back pictures always come out great. Not to be missed! (Picture taken in April 2023)

The Gooderham Building is a historic landmark located in Toronto, Canada. It was built in 1892 and is known for its unique flatiron shape, which makes it an iconic feature of the city's skyline. One of the most notable aspects of the building is its architecture. The Gooderham Building was designed by David Roberts Jr., who was inspired by the Flatiron Building in New York City. It features red-brick cladding, intricate stone detailing, and a series of rounded arches that give it a distinct Romanesque style. The interior of the building is just as impressive as the exterior. The lobby is adorned with beautiful marble floors, ornate plasterwork, and a stunning stained glass skylight that filters natural light into the space. The building's elegant details and historical charm create a unique and inviting atmosphere. The Gooderham Building is a prime example of adaptive reuse, as it has been repurposed several times throughout its history. Originally, it served as a head office for the Gooderham and Worts Distillery, one of the largest distilleries in Canada. Today, it houses a variety of office spaces and retail stores, making it a vibrant hub of activity in the heart of Toronto. Overall, the Gooderham Building is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Toronto. Its stunning architecture and rich history make it a true gem of the city.

A Very iconic and well known historic site in downtown Toronto taking you back into time, sharing the stories of the glorious past! Very impressive structure, reminds you of NYC that looks beautiful during day and even more fabulous at night! Check out my photos🙂

A very interesting place, inside there is a bar where you can relax and drink beer with excellent snacks. Nearby is a small park with a fountain and benches for relaxing.

The Gooderham Building, also known as the Flatiron Building, is an historic office building at 49 Wellington Street East in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on the eastern edge of the city's Financial District

It's very nice to see a piece of Toronto's history amidst other modern buildings. Its shape is so unusual to see that it calls for examination. I couldn't stop looking at it. It's so slim it seems to be possible to hug it. There you be able to find, across from the building, a sign explaining the buildings history and a pub at the basement called The Flatiron (evoquing a building similar to the Gooderham in NY). Behind it there is a square with a nice fountain with dog statues.

A French Gothic Architecral building with a small Park in the heart of Toronto.

a lovely building and a lot to see in the surrounding area, just wish you could visit the inside tho.

Very lovely building in the center of the city. It stands apart from the rest of the structures around it. Must visit as its in walking distance from the union station and close proximity within tim hortons.

A small version of the big Flatiron building in New York ! It looks an oddity with the modern sky scrapers in the background but that’s what gives it a unique appearance. Preserved well by the government this one is not a must see but if you are coming to the St Lawrence Market area , it’s only a 1 minute walk .

It is great place to visit and look for cinematic views. I mainly went there because I love to explore places. You guys can follow my account on Instagram where I post pics. Please do support me as I am gonna start my photography career. Username:- _captured_within_

What an iconic building it is!! It's amazing and you would see many people waiting to capture pictures in front of this building and surely you will get an Instagram shot. The street is busy but yes there is space to wait exactly in front of the building where you can wait for your shots and then leave. Overall a good vibe to be here

(Translated by Google) Wonderful spot for photos 👌🏼 (Original) Magnifique spot pour des photos 👌🏼

Very beautiful place, I only visited during the day, but next time I come back to Toronto I want to visit at night.

Of all the years we lived in St Lawrence Market and or driving by the Gooderham Building I have never stopped to really look or take a photograph or this historic place and the most photographed spot in Toronto. Until Today

Such picturesque place for taking photos. There's a pub/restaurant at the basement of this building. Looks stunning and so European

(Translated by Google) Good photo spot (Original) Bon spot photo

Simply iconic building in the heart of the city.

A beautiful place for a peaceful walk. Beautiful architecture around. Should definitely take a stroll here if you are new to the city.

Feels like NYC with the flatiron! Such a great intersection where the old school meets modern architecture

Great landmark to take photo of,Built in 1892 and designed by David Roberts Jr., it is recognizable for its distinctive wedge shape, which lends it the name “flatiron”. Also the St. Lawrence market is less than 5 min away, I recommend to check that one as well!

Amazing architecture Behind the building is a beautiful park with a dog/cat themed fountain.

This building has one of the best views by getting a vintage look around some great buildings behind. There should be awesome clicks coming around this building.

Iconic building in the heart of Toronto. Looks marvelous during sunsets. There's always some sort of construction around this place, the city needs to get it done as soon as possible.

The Gooderham Building, known as the "Flatron Building" because of its special triangular shape, was built in 1892 and has a history of nearly 130 years. The Flatiron Building was designed and built by a designer named David Roberts Jr. According to the trend of the time, Robert Jr. designed the three-storey hotel in the corner into a five-storey luxury office building in Romanesque Revival style on the basis of the original. Now it has been one of the most expensive office buildings in the city to rent per unit area

The Firkin pub was okay the Guinness wasn't bad. The owner and staff were friendly and service was good. The place could do with a bit of a revamp and a lick of paint but worth a visit

Indeed I found it to be Toronto’s iconic building - definitely one for Toronto visitor’s photo album 👍

Although we didn’t spend to much time there it was impressive! Our plan was to go there by bicycle, but no station worked out well. After we tried the streetcar, but it was so slow that we unfortunately felt forced to give just 3/5 stars. Especially impressive was the urban silence around. It was a pleasure to go (even slow) The highlight for us was the fountain with the dogs! You definitely have to check that out!

Truly iconic building in Old Toronto. Standing proud in front of downtown giants. Always amazing to see. Particularly in cloudy days. Grab a sandwich at St Lawrence Market an walk towards it on the south side of Front St. A must see!

This building is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of Toronto. At first glance, it may appear like just another historic structure among many, but as you approach it, you can’t help but sense its uniqueness and the vibrant soul it possesses. I accidentally stumbled upon this architectural marvel while strolling around the famous St. Lawrence Market area, known for its farmer’s market and restaurants. The Gooderham Building’s triangular shape and rich history make it a captivating sight, evoking a nostalgic charm that transports you back in time.

Nice mural art and visually stunning!

Very aesthetically pleasing building on Front Street. Vibrant city life.

A very nice market in the heart of downtown. The tent includes mostly fruits and vegetables along side some other meat and dairy products. The building also inclde some other products on two floors

Iconic landmark in Toronto. As near St. Lawrence's Market...deserve a 5 mins detour for a selfie.

Andrews the security guard is a phenomenal person to stop and chat with. He's full of history and interesting facts! He should write a book about his personal experiences weaved with the history of Toronto and the area. Thank you for your hospitality!

If you want to know about Toronto's old history, stop by this building near the St. Lawrence Market. The area near here was the area where the city was named Cabbagetown, where many Irish immigrants settled. There is still a pub in the building, so you can stop by at night if you want.

One of my favourite place of Toronto. A historic and beautiful monument. The best time to photograph it is at sunrise as illustrated by the pictures I uploaded here.

Old building

The Gooderham building is a heritage structure built in 1892 of red brick, with attractive arched windows and a copper roof in a unique pie shape due to the confluence of Wellington and Front streets. Built as the headquarters for the Gooderham family distillery business, it now serves as office space and downstairs houses the The Flatiron & Firkin pub. Looking from the front of the building, you get the old and the new with a great view of new Toronto and it's skyline. The wide end of the building backs up to quirky Berczy Park and has an impressive murial of windows that seem to be flutterting in the wind.

A lovely place for getting a photoshoot!!

Elevator operator still at work here. Al Capone was in this building, making deals for Canadian whisky, back in the 1920s.

It's an unique historic building. If you are visiting Toronto, just pay a visit to the area, the st Lawrence market is just around the corner.

Historical & cosy place in the heart of Toronto.

Always loving it

historical

Great place, and I always wanted to take a picture like that, nice place in Toronto specially at night.

Bucktee screamed at me for no reason

Super pour photos... typiquement new-yorkais...

Aesthetic place to take some good photos

Went to the restaurant here, first time out since COVID.. great view Nice patio, clean. I felt sick into 5 mins of drinking a pint and eating fries. Had to excuse myself. Was sick twice after. Old beer? Dirty oil?

This building is amazing! The contrast with modern and classic is fabulous. Great spot for pictures and easy to walk around.

Toronto’s iconic spot!

A classic Toronto Landmark. Still up and running, when I went there was a little construction going on outside, but it's probably gone by now. The second cup across the street is a great spot to relax and take it in as well.

very nice building

Interesting triangular building with a pub underneath.

Its a good place because its near to Hockey hall of fame and CN Tower

Good and quiet Place. Beautiful

The Sangria is fab, they are following the rules for covid.

The Flatiron Pub was a nice little establishment. Friendly staff and fast service. Nice overall atmosphere

Wedged between Front street and Wellington street in Downtown Toronto, the Gooderham building is the focal point of one of Toronto's most iconic vistas with skyscrapers including CN tower towering in it's background. It is more commonly known as the flat iron building due to its narrow wedge shape. The mural on the back of the building is unique due to its edges 'fluttering away' giving it a mobile effect. Overall, it's a treat to one's eyes and is one of the most iconic buildings in Toronto!

Unique Architecture

Fascinating..

Unique and historic

Iconic

A must see!

Wonderful historical landmark.

Always breathtaking to look at.

What more can be said that has already been written about this historical building in downtown Toronto Ontario? Maybe a single thought from me... Very interesting triangular architecture in 1892 regardless if you refer to this venue as the Gooderham Building or the Flatiron Building.

Amazing old building in stunning city of Toronto

If you wanna practice your photography, look up the sunset times for Toronto, and maybe the times for when the sun on the horizon is about 10-13 degrees, and you'll have perfect lighting for the building.

Took pictures around this flat-iron building. It's a historical site - Gooderham used to be one of Ontario's biggest breweries during the Prohibition Era.

Most cliche photos taken here.

👍 nice!

Beautiful exterior very well crafted and preserved
