Additional Property Attributes

The former Tannery Annex has had several uses over many years. Previous investigations stated the canning facility was constructed in 1913 and historic records reviewed indicate the oldest buildings assumed to be the original H.C. Baxter/Snowflake cannery structures constructed prior to 1917; those are the farthest east and closest to the former railroad tracks. In 1923 in an effort to expand their business the company began to can peas, string beans, and whole kernel corn, with this operation centered in Hartland, Maine. Over the years H.C. Baxter continued to expand its products including frozen vegetables and French fries. By the late 1950s and early 1960s, the company could no longer compete with canneries in other areas of the country and concentrated on processing potatoes. After the Hartland plant ceased operations in the late 1960s, it was acquired by Irving Tanning in 1963 and became known as the Tannery Annex. Leather finishing processes were conducted at the subject property, which utilized an assortment of pigments, lacquers, and solvents for spray and dipping applications. The tannery ceased using the building in 2012.The former Irving Tannery Annex in Hartland is currently vacant property. Asbestos was identified in a portion of the building. The Town was approached by a local developer to wants to develop the space as "maker" space where small businesses could set up shop and have a shared space to work in. Specifically, the developer proposed to turn the tannery annex into a metal fabrication shop and maker?s space, directly employing several local residents for his operations and hopefully opening up more economic opportunities for other local fabricators. Mr. Warner has lined up enough work to begin making an economic contribution to Hartland almost immediately, and has a vision of using the bulk of the complex to open up opportunities to other Hartland residents.
