Los Vaqueros Coca Cola Mural
The "Los Vaqueros" Coca-Cola sign is a famous "ghost sign" (a faded, vintage advertisement painted directly onto brick) located in the Fort Worth Stockyards National Historic District. The historic building was built in 1915 and was originally operated as a slaughterhouse by the D. Hart and Sons Livestock Company.
The sign is located at 2629 North Main Street.
Bold New Murals at Union Stockyards
Dallas artists Mariell Guzman and Daniel Yanez each brought their own visual language to the walls, introducing bold pattern, saturated color, and a deep respect for the place these murals now call home.
Between the two of them, you'll find longhorns, cacti, cowgirls, the Texas flag, and the building's own tagline: "In With The Bold."
