Description
The "Coffin Block," situated at the intersection of Church, Front, and Wellington Streets, was the first flatiron building in Toronto. Known for its wedge-shaped design, the building became part of The Wellington Hotel and was later replaced by the Gooderham "Flatiron" Building in 1891.
