The Old Brewery was founded in 1832 by Gooderham and Worts. In the 1860s, it was the largest brewery in the world at that time. It was acquired in 2001 and opened in 2003 after renovation, making it the largest cultural and artistic center in Toronto. It is also a national heritage preserve of Canada, one of the best preserved Victorian industrial areas in North America. Gallery, exhibition hall, art studio, clothing store, craft shop, cafe, bar, etc. are everywhere.
