Gooderham (Flatiron) Building (pass by)

This is Toronto’s Flatiron Building, built in 1892, and yes—it’s older than the more famous one in New York. It was designed to squeeze into this awkward wedge of land, which makes it look like it’s about to slice through traffic like the bow of a ship. It belonged to the Gooderham family, who made their fortune in whiskey, so if the building looks a little confident… that’s probably why.

Berczy Park

Berczy Park is one of Toronto’s most charming public spaces, tucked just behind the historic Flatiron Building. At its centre is the city’s most beloved fountain, featuring dozens of cast-iron dogs of all shapes and sizes, all gazing up at a single golden bone perched at the top. It’s a playful tribute to the neighbourhood’s dog-loving residents and a reminder that even in a busy downtown, Toronto still makes space for a little whimsy.

The fifth to stand here, the present building was completed in 1853, after a massive fire wiped out the centre of Toronto in 1849 in our first "Great Fire". It was the church of the first British colonists and stood as a symbol of power for the ruling class through much of the city's history.If the church is open to the public we will take a peek inside!
