	Distillery District - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Distillery District is a historic district to the east of the downtown core of Toronto, Canada, spanning 13 acres (52,000 square metres) and comprised of more than 40 heritage buildings and 10 streets.
		With the deindustrialization of the surrounding area in the late 20th century, and the winding-down of the distillery operations, the district was left increasingly derelict.
		Nonetheless, the closing of the remaining distillery operations in 1990 created redevelopment and investment opportunities for a district that contained the largest and best preserved collection of Victorian-era industrial architecture in North America.

		Since the disposal of distillery waste in a city environment was a major expense, feeding the swill to dairy cows penned nearby made economic sense.

		The feeding of distillery and brewery grains to cattle continues today, on the order of millions of tons per year worldwide, but modern dairy farmers now know to limit the amount of ration actually fed daily to their animals.

		Originally a 70 foot windmill was built by James Worts and William Gooderham in 1832 built overlooking Lake Ontario and it was a very prosperous venture indeed but a tragedy would cut short James Worts' business success.
		It is rumoured that in 1834, despondent over the death of his beloved wife during childbirth, Worts ended his life by drowning in a well on the property of the mill.
		There is no doubt that his death did take place but the 'probable' suicide is (according to staff) not very clear (it might have been accidental or...?) but knowing the history of his love for his family and the circumstances of the drowning, it's a safe bet that this was a sad and unfortunate suicide.
