Summary

Description
English: The Tovrea Land and Cattle Co. Administration Building / Stockyards Restaurant is located at 5009 E. Washington St. In 1919, Edward A. Tovrea, the “Cattle Baron,” opened his Phoenix packing house west of 48th Street and Van Buren to support his growing beef operations. The Tovrea Land and Cattle Co. had grown to nearly 40,000 head of cattle secured by 200 acres of cattle pens, making it the world’s largest feedlot. In 1947, The Stockyards Restaurant officially opened and quickly became a favorite gathering place for cattlemen, bankers and politicians. Although cattle fortunes faded in the late 1950’s and pens slowly gave way to urban growth, the popularity of Arizona’s Original Steakhouse remained intact.[1]. The property was listed in the Phoenix Historic Property Register in March 2004.
