Stone Distillery, Industrial heritage building in Distillery District, Toronto, Canada.

The Stone Distillery is a five-story limestone building in Toronto's Distillery District with an extended facade and a western wing designed for fermentation operations. The carefully restored structure now contains restaurants, galleries, and offices.

Built between 1858 and 1861 by Gooderham & Worts, it became North America's largest distillery complex during the Victorian era. An explosion in 1869 damaged the structure, but it was rebuilt and reinforced in 1870.

The building is part of a district where Victorian industrial heritage remains visible in everyday use. Today people fill the spaces with galleries and restaurants, mixing the area's past with contemporary activities.

The building sits on Mill Street and is easy to reach by transit. Access to the various restaurants and galleries is straightforward to navigate, with plenty of space to explore and linger.

The building survived a major explosion in 1869 caused by a benzene cask that lit up the entire city. This disaster led to reinforced reconstruction that proved the structure's strength and durability.
