Merchant's Exhibits Building

This building was constructed around 1921 to house exhibits for the Southwestern Exposition and Fat Stock Show.  Like many others in the Stock Yards, the architectural style is Mission Revival.  When the building was first built, a portion of it extended over Marine Creek.  In 1942, the creek flooded and destroyed a part of the building.  At that time, it was cut back to have the angular wall facing the creek.  For a while, the building was occupied by Frank Kent Motor Co.  In 1988, the building was renovated to house retail shops.
