At the end of the 18th and throughout the 19th century, Houffalize was an important center for tannery and milling. This is witnessed by the remains of the Lemaire mill and the Lemaire tannery, located along the Ourthe in rue Moulin Lemaire. The mill is said to date from the 18th century, while the Lemaire tannery is said to have been established around the year 1830. The tannery made « hard leather » from which soles were made, while the « upper leather » and the « leather ropes » were made in another tannery in the region.
