Triangles - City Daily Photo Theme Day
The CDP theme for April is triangles and the most famous triangle in Toronto is probably the FlatIron Building at the intersection of Church, Front & Wellington Streets. It was designed by architect Derek Besant and constructed in 1892 for the Godderham & Worts distillers to be used as their office which they did until 1952. It continues to be used for various offices although the bottom floor which is slightly below grade is a pub.

Love it! What a beautiful shot. Thank you.
A gorgeous building and lots of triangles! Great post!

I always liked Toronto's "flatiron" building. :)

I think these triangular buildings are just so distinctive that they almost define an area of a city. I hope they are long preserved. (Not sure I'd want to have to escape using those stairs, though!)
That's the second flatiron building I've seen today and it's a perfect choice for the theme.
A true landmark building in TO!
Great shot of a beautiful looking building.
I like how you combined the two buildings!!!
How contrasting! Great composition, love it!
A longtime icon of Toronto.
It is such a visually appealing building. Terrific choice, RedPat!
Absolutely love it!
A beautiful old flatiron building! Great choice for today, and a very nice post!
Lovely old building, love that redbrick and the shape is perfect for theme day.
A beautiful building.
Red Pat! Perfect!!!
That building is absolutely gorgeous and perfect for Theme Day!
Even if this wonderful building wasn't ablaze in triangles, this image would be a triumph. I love seeing the vintage red brick building in the midst of the glass walled modern buildings. What a setting.
Awesome building. You found some nice triangles.
Totally agree with Jack Pat, this has to be one of the most photogenic buildings I've seen. The blue turrets are the icing in the cake.. would they be verdigrised metal?
What a fabulous study in contrasts. For me, it is the old architecture of the flatiron building with its beautifully appointed trim and roof.

Magnificent find, a beautiful architecture, love the whole concept and its back view is superb! Did not know the existence of another building with the same name as the New Yorker!
Gorgeous building, nice shot!
oh that is a beautiful building!
i love it, its the perfect interpretation of the theme!
Very nice atmosphere
The modern buildings in contrast make this photo extra special. Bravo.
If I were standing there, I would certainly be taking photos of this fabulous building. Love it!
Beautiful building! It sure fits your theme.
Great, RedPat! I like the shape and colours of this building.
