The Gooderham Building

This is the Gooderham Building, also known as the Flatiron Building in Toronto. Completed in 1892, it was originally the headquarters for Gooderham & Worts distillery. It’s a historic landmark now, but still has working offices inside, and a pub in the basement. Let’s take a look at the backside.

The cool trompe l'oeil mural was painted by Derek Michael Besant in 1998. The name of it is, surprisingly, The Flatiron Mural. The image mirrors the Perkins Building across the street. It sure adds a point of interest to a plain rear wall
