The tanoak used to dye leather was stored in drying sheds across Highway 9 from the main Salz Tannery complex. Modern forklifts replaced horse and wagon in the 1960s. The drying process took about six months. The building in this photo was used to store hides that arrived on the short rail spur. The building remains and in year 2002 is the site of Angelo's Art studio.
