John Colvill built Springside distillery on the west side of Burnside Street in 1830. There are 4 different distilleries around this area and it was running from 1834 to 1837 at the same time. Though the distilleries closed one after another and the Springside distillery was the only one left but it was closed in 1926. Now there stands Hydro Electric's building but you can still find some buildings from those days and the one by Glebe Street is in good condition.
