Larrabee & Hingston Company, 19 Howley Street, Peabody, Essex County, MA

Significance: The Larrabee & Hingston Company shop complex, consisting of the Main Shop Building, the Lumber Drying Shed, Lumber Storage Shed #1, the Office Building, and Lumber Storage Shed #2, is significant for its association with Peabody's most important historic industry, the tanning of animal hides, and as a good example of a late nineteenth to mid-twentieth century light woodworking and fabricating shop. Larrabee & Hingston, founded in 1931, was a custom builder of wooden tanning vessels and was the last such facility in the Northeast when it closed in 1997.
