History
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]
