Rare opportunity: Century-old former cattle market property up for sale
https://sanantonioreport.org/century...ards-for-sale/
For the first time in 132 years, a parcel of land west of downtown San Antonio, where an iconic brown and white longhorn statue guards the gates, is for sale.
The fifth-generation owners of Union Stock Yards, a former cattle market founded by a group of ranchers in 1889, put the 30-acre property on the market in September.
It is the first sale of the property since Dr. Amos Graves, a surgeon at Santa Rosa Hospital, purchased it in 1894. At the time, San Antonio’s population numbered about 37,000 and the Bexar County Courthouse would soon be built.
