Photos of the Week - The Distillery District

The Distillery District is a historic and entertainment precinct located east of Downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
It contains numerous cafes, restaurants and shops housed within heritage buildings of the former Gooderham and Worts Distillery. The 13-acre (52,000 sq. m) district comprises more than 40 heritage buildings and 10 streets, and is the largest collection of Victorian era industrial architecture in North America.
This pedestrian-only village is set amidst fabulous heritage architecture and is devoted to promoting arts and culture. You won't find a franchise or chain operation here, so all the stores and galleries are one of a kind.

The district was designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1988.
