Replacing an 1885 structure east of the Swift and Company plant, this California Mission-styled building was constructed by the Fort Worth Live Stock Company to house its offices and related livestock entities. Built of

brick with stucco, like the adjacent Coliseum (FW51.1), the U-plan structure contains a central entrance court between two flanking hipped-roofed wings. Mission detailing of parapets, cupolas, and red tile roofs contribute to its charm. The architect remains unknown, although William Bryce is believed to have constructed the building.
