Description

The chimney is the remnant of the Shaw Brothers Tanning Co., which dominated Grand Lake Stream until it went out of business in 1883.

Others took over what had been the world's largest tannery until 1898, when it closed for good.

Most of the tannery was demolished, leaving the large brick chimney.
