Earl Boynton Cleaners – Berry

This small laundry building has a rectangular plan with a flat roof. It is of hollow tile construction with a veneer of stucco painted white. The central recessed entry has curving glass-block walls and arched door with porthole window. Horizontal windows, rounded on the outer ends, flank the entry. The laundry was built in 1945; a two-story addition was built at the rear in 1952. Original red metal lettering is on the wall over the entry. The building is a modest example of late Moderne commercial design. The building now houses a pawn shop and has been doubled in size with a concrete block addition on the east side. The front windows have been closed up. The lower photo was taken in 2006.
