Additional Comments
The front (southwest) facade has a central modern overhead garage door.

2012- "The Siedschlag & Wrede Commercial Laundry, built in 1896, is a one-story, rectangular-plan, front gable vernacular building with a stepped boomtown facade. The walls are clad in drop siding, and the roof is clad in asphalt shingles and displays exposed rafters. Four metal ventilators are set in the ridgeline at regular intervals. The front (southwest) facade has a central modern overhead garage door with a small fixed single-light window above. In most window openings, the sash has been replaced with plywood; one, six-over-one, wood, double-hung unit remains on the main elevation."
