After-Party dancemakers - the party of good byes










Old Distillery District
Today the Distillery district is not only Toronto's only heritage district; it is also Canada's largest centre for arts and culture - home & the heart of dancemakers. During the 1800's the Gooderham & Worts Distillery was a huge manufacturing district in the city of Toronto and the largest distillery in the British Empire.
The distellery was founded in 1832 by brothers-in-law William Gooderham and James Worts. The Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced millions of gallons of distilled whiskey and spirits in the 1800's. After the Great War prohibition set in and business began to slow. After over a century the distillery ceased operations in 1990.
