Fodor's Review:
This three-sided building's cousins live in wedge-shaped lots all over North America. Toronto's Flatiron, a redbrick building that occupies the triangular block between Wellington, Scott, and Front streets, was erected in 1892 as the head office of the Gooderham and Worts distilling company. On the back of the building, a witty trompe-l'oeil mural by Derek Besant is drawn around the windows. The mural depicts even larger windows, which look like the windows on the south side of Front Street. The illusion? It appears that the whole thing has been tacked up on the wall and is peeling off.
