Dominion Square
In 1873, Robert Davies, the third son of one of the most prominent families in the history of Toronto brewing, established the Dominion Brewery and built on this site in 1878. At its peak in the late 1880's, the Dominion Brewery comprised a vast array of buildings, courtyards and stables in the heart of Toronto's brewing and distilling district known as "Corktown". The brewery gained international acclaim for its lagers and ales and continued production for over 60 years until 1936, when its doors were closed. The entire complex was carefully renovated between 1987 and 1990 by The Sorbara Group, in association with Easton/Phillips Development Corporation.
