| This wedge-shaped Victorian landmark was built for financier George Gooderham in 1892 to serve as administrative offices for the Gooderham and Worts Distillery and other family business interests. Dominating the intersection of Wellington, Church and Front Streets, it is a rare example of 'flat-iron' architectural form. The property is protected by a City By-law under the Ontario Heritage Act. It is designated for its architectural value as a notable example of a building by an important Toronto architect working in a combination of the modern Gothic Revival and the Romanesque Revival styles. Located in the St. Lawrence neighbourhood of downtown Toronto, 49 Wellington Street East contains 20,000 square feet of retail and office space. |
