Stockyard Ruins
After digging around online, I've found some information about these ruins out behind the Stockyards in Fort Worth. Apparently these are what remains of the Swift-Armor meat packing plant, possibly destroyed as a result of arson fires in the early 1970s. (Supposedly the high concentration of animal fat made the fires burn out of control.)
The guard tower is apparently left over from the facility's use as the set for a Panamanian prison on the Fox TV show Prison Break. The set is no longer in use, so I guess these are ruins built on ruins.
It was an amazing thing to stumble across simply because I took a wrong turn trying to get out of the Stockyards, after spending some quality time enjoying the majesty and grandeur of watching cows walk down the street in formation.
