This view looking west from what is today known as the Canadian Club Brand Centre, shows some of the long lost distillery buildings. The white grain silos today sit to the rear of the taller building. Perhaps an earlier version? You can also see a bit of the Walkerville – Detroit ferry at the foot of Devonshire as well.

That is a ferry boat in the pic though, so I would assume it is at its ‘berth’
