The Swift & Co. and Armour built meat packing plants in North Fort Worth in the early 1900's. Gustavus Swift, the founder of Swift and Company, invented the refrigerated railcar, and his highly insulated plants were advanced as compared to other facilities. Double brick walls on the upper floors of the packing house ensured the meat would stay fresh throughout the first steps of processing.The operation was organized top-to-bottom: the slaughterhouse part of the plant was on the fourth floor. Cattle were led up an outside ramp to meet their demise.
