Doors Open at the Distillery Handouts

From 2007 - 2015 The Distillery District has been an enthusiastic participant in Doors Open, Toronto’s annual celebration of its built heritage. Each year we have prepared a handout to introduce the thousands of visitors who have ventured into some very unusual spaces. Although many of the previous venues are usually off-limits, some can be visited at any time and the others remain of general historic interest. So we are posting these annual handouts for your enjoyment. Because the addresses for the venues changed from Building Number to Street Address, the new addresses have been added where necessary to the table of contents below.
