Canada Malting Silos
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canada Malting Silos is one of two remaining silos in Toronto's Harbourfront. Located at the foot of Bathurst Street, the silos were built in 1928 to store malt hops for the Canada Malting Company. A round office was added in 1944 and glass office was built in the original construction in 1928.
The main silos, 15 in all, are 120 metres in height and additional storage bins built in 1944 are 150 metres.
It was abandoned in the 1980s and destined for demolition. A group call Metronome Canada are planning to convert the silos into a music museum or theme park.
