Distillery Historic District - MAP (see below for driving, parking and public transit info)
The Distillery District contains numerous restaurants and shops housed within heritage buildings of the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery. The district comprises more than 40 heritage buildings and 10 streets, and is the largest collection of Victorian era industrial architecture in North America. The Distillery District is a National historic site, and has been designated for protection under the Ontario Heritage Act since 1976. It was listed by National Geographic magazine as a "top pick" in Canada for travellers. The redevelopment of surrounding vacant lands is turning it into one of Toronto's most distinctive neighbourhoods.
