G.H. Gooderham was
in the family business, Gooderham and Words, LTD. , founded by his
grandfather William, and in the financial, political and educational
life ofToronto.
After 1908 the house was occupied by Leo Frankel, manifacturer
and merchant, The ursulin sister's school; The Red triangle club,
Big braders of Toronto.
For the last twenty-five years the building has housed
Angelini’s restaurant, a Toronto landmark and one of the city's
original fine dining establishments.
The establishment recently
changed hands as Gooderham descendant Bret Snider and restaurateur
Gerard Caleo joined forces to bring the facility back to life. The
new team has committed to maintain its historic significance.
The building has been well preserved and cared for
over the years and has unique period fixtures and features. Stained
glass, ceramic tiles, handcrafted millwork and sandstone adorn the
building. Amazingly, many mechanical elements are original and still
function.
