The assessor’s records date this structure from 1947. It appears, however, to be the same building that was located here earlier (according to Sanborn maps) which was also a dry-cleaner.
Originally the building was occupied by “Mt. Pleasant Cleaners and Tailors” and then “Ever-Ready Dry Cleaners and Tailors.” As of 1978 the building was occupied by the “American Cleaners.”
The Mt. Pleasant Cleaners is divided into asymmetrical bays with little detailing except for two small pinnacles. The cornices are capped with concrete.
