. . The Distillery District holds the largest collection of preserved Victorian industrial architecture in North America In the 1800s a thriving industrial area developed around Toronto Harbour and lower Don River mouth linked by rail and water to Canada and the United States Examples included the Gooderham and Worts Distillery Canadian Malting Company the Toronto Rolling Mills the Union Stockyards and the Davies pork processing facility (the inspiration for the "Hogtown" nickname) This industrial area expanded west along the harbour and rail lines and was supplemented by the infilling of the marshlands on the east side of the harbour to create the Port Lands a garment industry developed along lower Spadina Avenue the "Fashion District" Beginning in the late 19th century industrial areas were set up on the outskirts such as West Toronto/The Junction where the Stockyards relocated in 1903 the Great Fire of 1904 destroyed a large amount of industry in the downtown Some of the companies moved west along King Street some as far west as Dufferin Street; where the large Massey-Harris farm equipment manufacturing complex was located. Over time pockets of industrial land mostly followed rail lines and later highway corridors as the city grew outwards This trend continues to this day the largest factories and distribution warehouses are in the suburban environs of Peel and York Regions; but also within the current city: Etobicoke (concentrated around Pearson Airport) North York and Scarborough The West Don Lands is one of many former industrial sites in the downtown area that has undergone redevelopment Many of Toronto's former industrial sites close to (or in) Downtown have been redeveloped including parts of the Toronto waterfront the rail yards west of downtown and Liberty Village the Massey-Harris district and large-scale development is underway in the West Don Lands the Gooderham & Worts Distillery produced spirits until 1990 and is preserved today as the "Distillery District," the largest and best-preserved collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America. Some industry remains in the area including the Redpath Sugar Refinery Similar areas that retain their industrial character but are now largely residential are the Fashion District Corktown and parts of South Riverdale and Leslieville Toronto still has some active older industrial areas such as Brockton Village Mimico and New Toronto in the west end of Old Toronto and York the Weston/Mount Dennis and the Junction areas still contain factories meat-packing facilities and rail yards close to medium-density residential although the Junction's Union Stockyards moved out of Toronto in 1994 The "brownfield" industrial area of the Port Lands on the east side of the harbour is one area planned for redevelopment. Formerly a marsh that was filled in to create industrial space it was never intensely developed its land unsuitable for large-scale development because of flooding and unstable soil it still contains numerous industrial uses such as the Portlands Energy Centre power plant some port facilities some movie and TV production studios a concrete processing facility and various low-density industrial facilities the Waterfront Toronto agency has developed plans for a naturalized mouth to the Don River and to create a flood barrier around the Don making more of the land on the harbour suitable for higher-value residential and commercial development a former chemicals plant site along the Don River is slated to become a large commercial complex and transportation hub Public spaces.
