Laundry
St. Paul Island

Return to Seal Islands Historic District National Historic Landmark

National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form text:

Built in 1926. Two-story cement [concrete] building with horizontal gables. Originally used as a laundry for Company House (Faulkner 1986).

Supplemental information provided by NOAA:

1926. The old laundry building used by white employees was torn down in 1926 and replaced with a new one outfitted with a hot-water boiler, gasoline engine, and a washer and dryer (Bower 1927, 306–307).

1939. In order to make the living quarters more habitable, no outside laundry houses were constructed for the Aleuts. Instead, partial basements for laundry purposes were constructed beneath several houses (Bower 1941, 161).
