Flatiron / Gooderham Building celebrates one of Toronto’s most recognizable architectural landmarks. David Crighton’s 1990 illustration captures the building’s red-brick Romanesque Revival architecture and distinctive triangular form, framed by the modern towers of the Financial District and the unmistakable CN Tower.
Whether you know it from exploring the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood, walking through Berczy Park, or admiring the classic view along Front Street, this artwork presents a layered portrait of Toronto’s evolving architectural identity.
Year Created: 1990
Location: 49 Wellington Street East, where Front and Wellington Streets meet, Toronto.
Artist Notes: The building’s proper name is the Gooderham Building, reflecting its history as the offices of the Gooderham & Worts distilling business. It is widely known as the “Flatiron” because its triangular footprint resembles an old-fashioned clothing iron. Interestingly, Toronto’s building predates New York City’s famous Flatiron Building by approximately a decade. I especially like how this artwork brings together three phases of architecture: the historic Gooderham Building, the modern office towers, and—with the CN Tower—the futuristic.
