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 Stone Distillery stands within the pedestrian-only Distillery District, opened in 2003, so visitors move between the restaurants, galleries and offices on foot. The main five-storey block and its one-storey western extension are entered from the district's lanes; the round-arched doorway with the dark green door sits left of centre on the long facade.

The 1869 blast began in the fermenting cellar and burned out the wooden interior while leaving the stone walls and machinery largely intact. Rebuilding was finished and the distillery reopened in May 1870. During both world wars the plant made explosive agents, then returned to distilling in 1945 and kept producing until 1990.
