Toronto Tourism Magazine 2009 - (Page 37) Summerhill LCBO First built, in 1916, as a CP Rail station, the stop saw its last passengers just after the Second World War, when returning soldiers filed through. The 2004 restoration retained the belle Beaux Arts style, but saw bottles replace bodies — it’s now one of the city’s premier wine and liquor stores. The Distillery District In the late 1860s, the Distillery was home to the world’s largest whiskey manufacturer — Gooderham & Worts. Revitalized and, in 2003, unveiled as a pedestrian thoroughfare filled with galleries, cafés and stores, the cobble-stoned gem is a favourite haunt for film crews that appreciate what, according to some, is the largest and bestpreserved collection of Victorianera industrial architecture. John St. Roundhouse Built in 1929, the John St. Roundhouse served as a CP Rail repair facility until 1988. Today, the building houses more liquid assets — it’s the home of Steam Whistle Brewing.
