The Model Laundry & Dye Works Building is a National Register of Historic Places-listed building located at 513−525 Rosenberg Avenue in Galveston, Texas.
History
[edit]When the Model Laundry & Dye Works opened on Rosenburg Avenue in 1913, it was the only steam laundry in Galveston. At that time, Rosenberg Avenue was already developing as a civic center corridor, while Joseph Finger framed the multiple bays of this two-story commercial building in white, glazed brick.[2]
