The Building’s
HISTORY
This building was original built in 1926 and was a laundromat facility until 1991 when it was sold and turned into a gift/furniture shop. In the mid-1990’s, a portion of the southeast corner of the building was changed over to an Italian restaurant. The building remained the same until recently when it was transformed into a laboratory and office space.
