The complex, opened in 1958, houses the storage and refining plant of Toronto-based Redpath Sugar.

The sugar processed at the plant originates in the Caribbean and Brazil, and is delivered by ships using the Saint Lawrence Seaway.

Due to the limited shipping season, sugar cane is stockpiled each fall in facilities next to the processing plant.

The north-facing wall of the Raw Sugar Shed features a whale mural by artist Wyland.
