Distillery District
- Gooderham & Worts Brewery, Old Toronto
Distillery District, along Mill Street in Old Toronto, is a former distillery filled with restaurants, craft stores, upscale boutiques, artist galleries and entertainment. It is the only historic district in Toronto, and a car free zone, made for pedestrians on brick-paved roads. Before it became a cultural district in 2003, many famous movies where set there, such as Chicago, X-Men and the Hurricane. It is the best collection of preserved Victorian era industrial architecture in North America. The Gooderham and Worts distillery, that the complex was built for, was the largest distillery in the world in the late 1860s. Two tall condominium towers were built at the property in the 1990s.
