Argersinger Bros. Leather Mill
This large tannery was located at the corner of Mill St (now Pleasant Av) and Water St. in Johnstown, NY. The two story building in the foreground still stands on the south side of Water St.
The mill housed Argersinger & Putnam; Argersinger, Miller & Co.; and later Argersinger Bros. The foundation of the largest portion of the complex was converted to a warehouse for the former Johnstown Leather plant and was lost to fire in the late 1970's or early 1980's.
