Westside Provisions was formed in 2008 by the construction of a footbridge linking the Westside Urban Market to White Provision. White Provision occupies the White Provision Co. building, constructed in 1910 and expanded in 1922–1924 in the Industrial Gothic style. It served as a meat packing plant and was sold to Swift and Company. In 1963 the property was converted into a bonded warehouse and in 1991 as a U-Haul storage center and as residential lofts. Westside Urban Market is built on the site of the 1917 United Butchers Abattoir, later the site of Stovall and Co. [2] Both the abattoir and meat packing facility were established in proximity to the Miller Union Stockyards then located in the area from the 1880s through 1940s. [3]
Westside Provisions includes dining and national retailers. [4] For retail, the development is anchored by a large Room & Board furniture store as well as Atlanta's second Anthropologie. [5] [6] [7] The district includes additional restaurants, coffee shops, and high end home furnishings and apparel stores.

The Atlanta BeltLine is a 22 miles (35 km) open and planned loop of multi-use trail and light rail transit system on a former railway corridor around the core of Atlanta, Georgia. The Atlanta BeltLine is designed to reconnect neighborhoods and communities historically divided and marginalized by infrastructure, improve transportation, add green space, promote redevelopment, create and preserve affordable housing, and showcase arts and culture. The project is in varying stages of development, with several mainline and spur trails complete and others in an unpaved, but hikeable, state. Since the passage of the More MARTA sales tax in 2016, construction of the light rail streetcar system is overseen by MARTA in close partnership with Atlanta BeltLine, Inc.
The Union Stock Yard & Transit Co., or The Yards, was the meatpacking district in Chicago for more than a century, starting in 1865. The district was operated by a group of railroad companies that acquired marshland and turned it into a centralized processing area. By the 1890s, the railroad capital behind the Union Stockyards was Vanderbilt money. The Union Stockyards operated in the New City community area for 106 years, helping Chicago become known as the "hog butcher for the world," the center of the American meatpacking industry for decades. The yards became inspiration for literature and social reform.
Arbogast & Bastian, also known as A&B Meats, was the name of a slaughterhouse and meat packing plant located in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

In its heyday, Arbogast & Bastian slaughtered an average of 4,000 hogs daily.

Located at 695 North Avenue in Atlanta, the Dupre Excelsior Mill may have been built as early as 1890 by DuPre Manufacturing Company. However, the mill fails to appear on Atlanta city maps in 1892 and 1899, which both show the property as vacant. The first possible reference to the mill exists in the report of the death of Hubert Neal on July 17, 1899. According to the report, his accident occurred at the Atlanta Excelsior Works, which may or may not be the same facility since at the time there were three excelsior factories in Atlanta. The earliest concrete confirmation of the mill seems to be three lawsuits filed against Dupre in 1907 for accidents that occurred at the facility. The mill does appear on the Sanborn-Perris fire insurance map of 1911. At that time, the only road connecting it was Angier Street. It was noted to have been heated by steam power, no lighting, and a private water supply from a well 10 feet in diameter and 40 feet deep. A watchman made hourly rounds to seven stations.
