| In 1891, the Gooderham family wanted local residents to recognize their success and the success of their distillery business, so they commissioned the family architect, David Roberts, to build them a grander office space. At a cost of $18,000, an unusual Gothic Romanesque structure was built at the intersection of Front, Wellington, and Church Streets on a triangular piece of land. |
...I love Flatiron building, this one is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGreat street scene photo.
ReplyDeleteA considerable contrast to the modern building in the background. I love the character and shape
ReplyDeleteIsn't this lovely building an eye catcher! I am so pleased that people have appreciated wonderful old buildings like this enough to preserve them.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great looking building and that street scene is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThe lot shape dictated the triangular building shape, and the Romanesque style looks terrific here. Great photo. Wow, a dollar went much further back then.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, great looking
ReplyDeleteIt has probably had thousands and thousands of pics taken of it! Nice one, Andy!
