## Gooderham Building
In 1892, the Gooderham Building, also known as Toronto's Flatiron Building, was completed at 49 Wellington Street East. Designed by architect David Roberts Jr., this five-storey edifice was constructed for George Gooderham, president of the Gooderham and Worts distillery, then Canada's largest liquor manufacturer. The building's distinctive wedge shape was necessitated by its location on a triangular plot formed by the intersection of Front, Wellington, and Church Streets. Notably, a tunnel was built under Front Street to connect the building to a bank across the road, facilitating discreet financial transactions. In 1975, the Gooderham Building was designated a historic site under the Ontario Heritage Act, ensuring its preservation as a significant architectural landmark in Toronto. (heritagetoronto.org)
