This is a special piece of architecture reflecting early Toronto; it's just neat to look at, and even to go inside if possible. More

personally,as a seasoned traveller,I would not even think of this biulding as a feature of Toronto-I have been to Frankfurt during the olympics,saw many a biulding of this type-but the area is in the St lawrence market didstrict,so it adds to a nice trip in that spot of T.O. More

It was nice to check out this building, it is really cool. Nice park right nearby. Less then a block from the St. Lawrence Market so it is worth the walk down the street to check out. More

I always loved the Flatiron building (or Gooderham building if you prefer) so unique. There's a nice pub in the basement and a beautiful mural on the back of the building. Right in the centre of lovely Front St area. Check it out. More

We were lucky enough to tour the building during "Doors Open Toronto", so not only can we appreciate it from the outside with the CN Tower in the background, we can appreciate it from the inside as well. A unique and beautiful structure. More
