In this photograph from February 1935, an unidentified shoemaker pounds nails into the sole of a leather high-top work shoe or hiking boot at his workbench in the Bone Dry Manufacturing Company building at 2115 Pacific Avenue. Bone Dry manufactured top quality boots in Tacoma for nearly 40 years. Built in 1919, the Bone Dry building, now occupied by McGranahan Architects, still reveals its history in the paths wore in its wooden floors by several generations of cobblers and pattern cutters.
