Meat warehouse marketplace

Abranch house was ameat industry building that combined asales office andwarehouse for the disposition ofpacking-house products at a distance from the packing plant. Branch houses were typically located in densely populated areas, and received meat shipments from the slaughterhouse, often daily by rail. Some branch houses would do further processing, includingsmoked meats, andsausage making.^[1]^[2]^[3]
