Gooderham Building

The Gooderham Building is a five-story, wedge-shaped structure of red brick that sits at the sharp triangular intersection of Wellington and Front Streets. Completed in eighteen ninety-two, it predates New York City’s more famous flatiron building by a full decade. The site was once occupied by a shorter, triangular building known as the Coffin Block, which earned its name because its shape reminded people of a casket.
