Also one of the buildings in Toronto that you should see. It is precisely the contrast between the historic brick building and the modern office towers that makes it so special.

The 'Gooderham Building' or 'Flatiron Building' is located on a triangular lot in the St. Lawrence Market district, a historically significant area of Toronto. The five-story wedge-shaped building on Front Street was built in 1891 to designs by architect David Roberts Jr. and is close to other famous cultural landmarks such as St. Lawrence Market and St. James Cathedral.

The building also has a very striking back. Canadian artist Derek Michael Besant mirrored the Perkins Building opposite, using the trompe l'il effect.
