Description
The Distillery District is the former site of the Gooderham and Worts, one of the largest distillers in the British Empire from the 1830s to the 1890s. Today the site comprises over 40 Victorian buildings, representing the finest surviving group of 19th-century industrial buildings in Ontario.
