Evidence map
Researcher synthesis
Connect facility, changing corporate ownership and changing product output as separate entities. Use the named archives for corroboration; label the rowboat anecdote as unverified lore rather than a documented shipping practice.
Assessment
Illustrated/colorized postcard reviewed: waterfront industrial complex labeled Hiram Walker and Sons, Inc., Distillery, Peoria, Illinois. This is not treated as an authenticated documentary photograph; the 1940s date remains caption attribution. No sale closing documents, Canadian export statute, Walker correspondence or Trust records checked. 'Largest' and 'technically legal' are period claims without specified metric/legal basis.2021 sale report not a current ownership audit.
Verify Great Western versus earlier site's continuity, Walker's motives, Trust formation and sale scope before History use.
Media preservation
