    Good example of a flatiron building
    If you've not seen a flatiron building, then this is a good example. It's an attractive building, of historic significance, and a Toronto landmark. There's a good view from Front Street East, standing on the centre island between the two traffic lanes. There is a plaque sharing information about the building too.

    Good view
    This building is so iconic!! It is so gorgeous the view! You can take good pictures of all the sides! It is free and in front of the building, you can read a little bit about the building. Near it, there is a park and St Lawrence Market

    Historic Toronto building
    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 (east of Yonge Street) in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, wedged between Front Street and Wellington Street in Downtown Toronto, where they join up to form a triangular intersection. Unless you are going to the market I wouldn't go out of my way to visit.

Among the high-rise buildings in downtown Toronto, it’s hard not to stop and take a second look at this five-story red brick building shaped like an iron. It was completed and opened in 1892. It cleverly combined with the local topography and was designed to be narrow at the front and wide at the back. It was also the first iron-shaped building in the world. It has historical significance and is currently listed as a historical landmark building in Toronto. It is worth visiting. To learn more, the building has a restaurant and bar on the first floor where you can dine and experience the beauty of the building.

Building from many years ago already built in excellent conditions. Located in the financial center. Unique project for having one side ending in a corner (tip) and the other on a flat face. The flat external wall has a decoration that from a distance makes it identifiable with a very beautiful design. The building is at one end of the block, where in the other area there is a very peculiar fountain with figures of different breeds of dogs.

With the city's modern skyscrapers, this 1892 structure stands out for its old looks and modest proportion. It's an architectural icon in Old Toronto and reminds you of how the city must have looked like during those days. It's definitely worth a quick visit. Very instagrammable. 😀

Something special on my way to St Lawrence Market is very interesting. The building is like a very long triangle, one end very thin then is bigger towards the other end next to the park. Fantastic looking outside staircase just like what you see in films.

Love the shape of the building, very quirky. Unfortunately there was some construction going on at the front so our photos don’t do it justice! The mural on the back of the building was very cleverly done. Glad we took the time to go there even though the weather was not great.

It's gone through several owners over the years and has often had underwhelming restaurants occupy the ground floor (like the present one which serves mediocre food while blaring out crap music while next to traffic). However, somehow, it feels more like a soulful centre to the city than the CN Tower. It has a charm and iconic aesthetic lacking in most other areas. It just begs for photos and often obliges with Instagrammable imagery.

If you are not big into taking pictures, then this really is not a good place to stop in Toronto. Having said that, do not miss the back of this building for a surprise!

Saw this on TripAdvisor and saw it was just a block or so from the St Lawrence Market, so walked up to snap a photo. It is a cool building - similar to many flatiron buildings in other cities. It's on a neat little traffic intersection - so, you should walk across the street to snap the photo. It's not something you'd spend more than a couple minutes at (though, there is a nice looking pub in the basement). But, if you are close to St Lawrence Market, it is worth it to walk up a block and take the photo.
