In 1935 the Brewing Corporation of Ontario purchased all securities and collateral of the Riverside Brewing Corporation (located on the east side of Windsor, and a competitor of British American) held by a local bank and immediately sold all its assets and closed the plant. The majority of Riverside’s business was picked up by the British American Brewery. On April 21, 1937, the Brewing Corporation of Ontario changed its name to Canadian Breweries Limited. The building has since been used as a hybrid seed lab and also an assembly line for car seats. It is now being taken back by nature with trees growing anywhere they can and hundreds of pigeons calling the interior home. The east building is semi-active (equipment storage for Riverside Materials) and the guard trailer between the two has CCTV cameras and flood lights mounted on the antenna mast.

Riverside Materials is a Sand and Gravel operation and just have all these huge piles of aggregates that are up against the outer walls of the brewery. There is obviously no hope for this place to ever be saved.
