Description
Frigorífico Swift Montevideo - Richard Reeve
Frigorífico Swift (Swift Refrigerator) built the first commercial refrigerated meat packing plant in Uruguay in 1911. Used for processing and exporting meat from its own docks, it finally closed in 1957 due to a fall in meat prices and withdrawal of foreign investment. It remains abandoned to this day, although the docks are still used by the adjacent marine academy.
