Một chút lịch sử

Completed in 1892, the Gooderham Building was designed by architect David Roberts Jr. as the headquarters for the Gooderham & Worts distillery. Its wedge shape was dictated by the triangular lot at the intersection of Front, Wellington, and Church streets. It is one of the oldest surviving flatiron-style buildings in North America.
