The Ružić Tannery started operating in 1879 and it was located at the very beginning of Vodovodna Street, in the buildings on both sides of the street. The engineer Giacomo Mattich was hired to manage the construction of the factory and working class housing, as well as for the adaptation of Seeman’s house (1881, 1883). Next to the Tannery, on the neighbouring ground but also in Seeman’s property, there was the Skull Factory, located in a two-storey storehouse designed by Santa Pillepich.
