Today is a view of the offices of the Amherst Distillers. I am assuming that this place was the factory that today is known as Diageo Canada? As I have said many times, my Essex County knowlege is minimal, so tell me readers, who knows anything about this place? I’m assuming that this building is long gone? Or is it there still and hiding inside the complex?

Andrew, I believe you are correct. This distillery evolved into what is now Diageo. This article provides an excellent description of the evolution including geographic location… very interesting reading. http://marshcollection.org/wp-content/uploads/calverts.pdf
