The Gooderham Building, sometimes called the Flatiron, is situated on the wedge-shaped intersection of Wellington East, Front, and Scott Streets. Due largely to its distinctive shape, it is one of the city’s most frequently photographed buildings. Numerous companies have offices there, purportedly at some of the highest costs in the city. The location had been home to the Wellington Hotel, which functioned as the western terminal of the Kingston-York stagecoach line before the so-called Coffin Block was built there in 1891.
