The Gooderham Building, generally known as the Flatiron Building, is a five-storey, wedge-shaped building at the intersection of Front, Church and Wellington Streets. It was built in 1892 and was the first flatiron building in a major city. Until 1952 the building housed the offices of Gooderham & Worts Distillers, whose distilling buildings now make up the Distillery District several blocks to the east. Also, take a look at the trompe-l'œil mural on the rear of the building from the adjacent Berczy Park.
The Gooderham Building, also known as the Flatiron Building, is an historic office building at 49 Wellington Street East in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is located on the eastern edge of the city's Financial District in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood, wedged between Front Street and Wellington Street in Downtown Toronto, where they join up to form a triangular intersection. Completed in 1892, the red-brick edifice was an early example of a prominent flatiron building.

This small park contains a large fountain with a humorous theme; there are statues of dogs perched on 2 levels of the fountain all staring upwards towards a large bone perched at the fountain's peak. A few interesting buildings are easily viewed from the park: A large trompe l'oeil mural on the rear of the Flat-Iron Building, and three beautifully preserved Victorian-era buildings built in 1872 across the street on the south side of the park.

St. Lawrence Market has been bringing fresh foods into the city for Torontonians and visitors alike since 1901. Located at Jarvis and Front, the market stretches over 2 buildings, an older main building on the south side of Front St., and a modern north building (opened in 2025) directly across the street. The main building has over 50 specialty vendors, with a large seafood section, a dozen butchers, several bakeries, and three very extensive cheese shops. In the basement, there is also a specialty area for handcrafters, and an extensive food court, with merchants often cooking food that they bought fresh that morning from upstairs. The north building is home to a farmer's market, open Saturdays year round, featuring fresh vegetables in season, preserves, spices and herbs, and direct from the source foods, such as honey direct from the beekeeper or maple syrup from the people who tapped and boiled it, and Ontario wines. The north building also features an antique market on Sundays.
