A place where bark is stored, processed, or used for tanning leather and other purposes.
From 'bark' (tree bark, especially oak bark used in tanning) plus '-ary' suffix (meaning 'place where something is kept or done'), similar to 'library' or 'apothecary'.
Before synthetic tanning chemicals, a barkary was where tanners stored oak bark in massive piles—the smell and the space requirements made them early industrial landmarks in medieval towns.
