Yeah, I think King/Queen would have a much stronger case of being the most iconic corner. Several other intersections for that matter.

I suppose one could make a case for City Hall as Downtown's iconic building, along with the old Clocktower in Victoria Park, but overall, I think the Walper Hotel might have the best claim, in part for it's location, but in particular for its history and its place in the history of the city.   Not so much for its looks, however.
