The silos are located at the east end of Toronto Harbour, part of a soybean processing facility that operated from 1944 until 1991.
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...).
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.
