Nothing beats a day spent at Toronto's Evergreen Brick Works, complete with hiking trails, beautiful ravines, a boardwalk around wetlands, and even a Saturday farmers' market.
But before this old brick factory was turned evergreen, the site was just a massive hole in the ground.
It was later renamed the Don Valley Brick Company Limited when it was sold to a brother-in-law of the original owners in 1909.
However, after a significant expansion, it was renamed yet again to the Don Valley Brick Works Limited.
That meant only one thing for the Don Valley Pressed Brick Company: a prosperous future, as the brick business was soon to skyrocket.
