How Tally knows

The archive holds a dated, evidenced ownership event for Bloor Brewery: Bloor Brewery was sold to John Rose (1843). Each event cites its source, listed below; the current owner is read from the most recent event, and Tally does not restate it as the ultimate parent — that is a separate question.

Evidence

2 sources
  • Joseph Bloor — The Canadian Encyclopedia (accessed 2026-09-08) Proves: Joseph Bloor built his Rosedale Valley brewery in 1830 and sold it in 1843.
  • Joseph Bloor — Wikipedia (accessed 2026-09-08) Proves: Corroboration: brewery built 1830, sold 1843 to John Rose who ran it as Castle Frank Brewery until 1864.

The chain

  1. 1843John Rosesold_to — Resolves held claim HOC-0397 ("OWNED / FOUNDED"). Bloor sold the brewery in 1843; Rose operated it as the Castle Frank Brewery until 1864, and the building was demolished by 1875. A second dated fact the same evidence establishes.
