tannery
Leather production facility
A tannery is a facility where animal hides are processed into leather.
The work involves treating raw skins with tannins or other chemicals to preserve them and make them supple.
Tanneries have historically been located away from population centers because the process produces strong odors: The tannery district sat downwind from the city.
