History
The Distillery District occupies the former Gooderham & Worts complex, a major 19th-century distillery that shaped Toronto’s industrial waterfront and later became a heritage district of restored brick warehouses.
Conservation
Adaptive reuse preserves historic buildings, but high visitor numbers can stress cobblestone surfaces and public spaces—respect signage and local business operations.
