Old Mill Inn, Toronto, ON

I had brunch at the Old Mill today ... it was a Single Horizons event. There were 16 of us.

The Old Mill originally was Toronto's first sawmill, built circa 1793. It was owned by R. Home Smith when it opened as the Old Mill Tea Garden in 1914, and was a place for dancing to big band music in the 1920s. It was designated as a heritage property in 1983 by the former city of Etobicoke and retains that designation with Toronto. It has changed owners three times, and was bought by the Kalmar family in 1991.

The Old Mill restaurant and conference centre had hosted wedding receptions and corporate events for decades but a hotel and spa opened in October 2001, with 47 rooms and 13 suites.

The Old Mill is famous for its Sunday brunches ...
