Additional Details:
The famous Stock Yard Inn, located at the entrance to the Chicago Union Stock Yards, is the largest and finest hotel in the world catering exclusively to live stock producers and farmers. It is a department of and operated by the Union Stock Yard & Transit Company of Chicago. Visitors to this great central market find in this hospitable hostelry an ideal stopping place at very reasonable rates. It is famous the world over for its steaks and chops. Alvin H. Sanders, in his book, "At the Sign of the Stock Yard Inn," describes it as "a modern fireproof structure, provided with all twentieth century comforts within, its exterior aspects preserve and pereptuate the quaintly picturesque and exquisitely artistic lines of the architecture of rural England of the long ago."
