It is widely known as the “Flatiron” because its triangular footprint resembles an old-fashioned clothing iron. Interestingly, Toronto’s building predates New York City’s famous Flatiron Building by approximately a decade. I especially like how this artwork brings together three phases of architecture: the historic Gooderham Building, the modern office towers, and—with the CN Tower—the futuristic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeatured Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDistinctive wedge-shaped triangular profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRed-brick Romanesque Revival architecture\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRounded façade and copper-roofed turret\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinancial District towers rising in the background\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eToronto’s unmistakable CN Tower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBerczy Park greenery and brick pathways\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTraditional streetlamps and hanging flower baskets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA layered composition of historic, modern, and futuristic Toronto\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"David Crighton Art Studio","offers":[{"title":"11 x 16 in \/ None","offer_id":54138817904751,"sku":null,"price":110.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.75 x 20 in \/ None","offer_id":54138817937519,"sku":null,"price":145.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16.5 x 24 in \/ None","offer_id":54138817970287,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 x 16 in \/ Dedication (Custom text added in bottom centre)","offer_id":68214909599855,"sku":null,"price":130.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 x 16 in \/ Hand Written Dedication (Custom hand written text bottom left corner)","offer_id":68214909632623,"sku":null,"price":140.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.75 x 20 in \/ Dedication (Custom text added in bottom centre)","offer_id":68214909665391,"sku":null,"price":165.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.75 x 20 in \/ Hand Written Dedication (Custom hand written text bottom left corner)","offer_id":68214909698159,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16.5 x 24 in \/ Dedication (Custom text added in bottom centre)","offer_id":68214909730927,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16.5 x 24 in \/ Hand Written Dedication (Custom hand written text bottom left corner)","offer_id":68214909763695,"sku":null,"price":210.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/5716\/3887\/files\/David-Crighton-Flatiron-Toronto-Ontario-Canada-Main.jpg?v=1787713764","url":"https:\/\/davidcrighton.ca\/products\/flatiron-gooderham-building-print","provider":"David Crighton Art Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
