The Stockyards Restaurant / 1889 Saloon writes ... |
In this booming metroplex where home-grown and historical are the exception rather than the rule, there was a palpable angst as Arizona’s Original Steakhouse closed its doors for a much needed face-lift after 50 years. Like a pair of well-worn cowboy boots in need of a polish, The Stockyards Restaurant and 1889 Saloon, a Phoenix landmark, has retained its Old West comfort and charm while regaining its foothold as one of Phoenix’s favorite steakhouses. In March 2005, The Stockyards Restaurant re-opened without missing a beat.
A visionary team painstakingly restored and revitalized the restaurant, which was recently added to the City of Phoenix Historical Register for both its central role in Arizona’s cattle industry and its relevant architectural style. Cattle was one of the “Five C’s” in Arizona’s history as the emergence of prosperous ranches and booming livestock businesses propelled the state’s development. 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. By the early 1950’s, 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 Administration Building was built to service the Tovrea Land and Cattle Company. The building was replaced in 1954 due to fire. The new building included office space and The Stockyards Restaurant, which quickly became a favorite spot 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 remains intact, more than 50 years later. |
