Introduction The Distillery District is a heritage building community located to the east of the downtown core in Toronto. Gooderham and Worts founded the site as a distillery in 1832, and by the 1860s, it was the largest distillery in the world. The deindustrialization of neighbouring areas subsequently resulted in the closure of all remaining distillery operations by 1990. By 2003, the Distillery District was transformed into a pedestrian oriented area, allowing for a dynamic public space where the arts, shopping, dining, and events could be enjoyed by various people. The Distillery District is in close proximity to the Canary District, the Old Town of Toronto and the St. Lawrence Market, and the Lower Don Lands Waterfront (refer to appendix 17).
