The silos were built for
Canadian Breweries' soya processing plant in 1944. The silos were used to store the
soybeans reprocessed for a variety of purposes (pet food, animal feed, vegetable oils, etc...). In 1954 the mills were sold to
Procter & Gamble and named Victory Soya Mills. It was purchased by Central Soy Incorporated in 1980 and renamed
Central Soya Mills in the 1980s. The plant ceased operating in 1991. Sorting silos along the east side Parliament Slip, the tall headhouse tower, and other structures were demolished in 1998, leaving the remaining silos in place. At one time, it was the property of Home Depot for a planned box store, but it has remained vacant other than the silos. It was once used illegally as a "tent city" by Toronto's homeless population. The building was added to Toronto’s City’s Heritage Registre in 2004. as well as the planned
Quayside, Toronto development which will occupy the site next to the silos. ==See also==
