The building that houses Filmore's is a flatiron style, but it's not as pronounced as
the flatiron building that you show. Probably because it doesn't face dramatically into a narrow intersection, it just doesn't have the presence of its more famous neighbour.
A friend of mine has visited the similar building in New York, and brought back two 11x17 photographs (commercial prints, not his) of it. He asked me if I could create a third to add to the series.
Obviously, we've interpreted the perspective corrections a little differently. Mine's too tall, but the one in NY is much grander.
...have you been to the Brickworks?

What a beautiful building !
Both pictures are great... Colin's shows nicely the contrast old and new... and Matthew's the architectural detail... Thanks for the link... Toronto has indeed wonderful historic buildings
The city looks so clean... and tidy... I read that Canada was the 3rd cleanest country in the world..
