Union Stock Yard Gate, Historic limestone gate entrance in Chicago, United States.
The Union Stock Yard Gate features a central arch measuring 16 feet wide and 17 feet high, flanked by two smaller asymmetrical arches.
Constructed in 1875, this gate marked the entrance to Chicago's Union Stock Yards, which processed more meat than any other location worldwide until the 1920s.
The gate includes a sculpture of Sherman, a prize-winning bull, positioned above the center arch as a testament to the livestock industry.
Located on Exchange Avenue at Peoria Street, the gate remains accessible throughout the day with street parking available in the surrounding area.
This limestone structure stands as the final remaining element of the original Union Stock Yards, which operated across 475 acres for over 106 years.
