This Toronto landmark was built for George Gooderham, the president of Gooderham and Worts – the largest liquor distillery in Canada and one of Toronto’s biggest employers.
Front Street to your left once followed the historic shoreline of Lake Ontario. Here, where it met Wellington and Church Streets, it created an unusual triangular property. In 1891, Gooderham hired architect David Roberts to design an office
building for the distillery and his own personal use there.
The five-storey Gooderham Building was built using red brick and Credit Valley stone in the Gothic Revival style. Gooderham’s office was at the top of the semi-circular corner tower with a commanding view of the neighbourhood. The Gooderham Building – known locally as the Flatiron because it resembles the famous skyscraper in New York –
was renovated in 1976. Today, it is one of Toronto’s best known structure.
