A “Historic” New Treat!
If you are in the Toronto area and are looking to step into a historic district renovated into a place where artists and businesses are combined- the Toronto Distillery District is the place to be! I recently visited the area and it felt as though I was stepping back in time but also it invoked an energetic scene of restaurants, art galleries, cafes, shops, theaters, and patios.
According to their website, the history behind the 47 renovated buildings (known as the Gooderham & Worts Distillery) “represents the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian Industrial Architecture in North America”. They also state that the, “Stone Distillery is the oldest remaining building on site. It was constructed between 1859-1860 and by 1877 The Gooderham and Worts Distillery had become the largest distillery in the world”.
It was a great place to visit and I really enjoyed the names of some of the spaces such as “The Boiler House” and “The Fermenting Cellar”. If you want to blend a great night out with a historic twist this is the area to come to!
