DescriptionThis image depicts the exterior of Imperial Laundry on West Silver Avenue in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The building is two stories tall and is made of a mixture of dark colored bricks and slightly lighter colored bricks. The large sign on the side of the building reads "Imperial Laundry Co. Dyers and Cleaners". The front of the building is nearer to the right side of the frame while the side of the frame is facing the camera. Two cars can be seen parked along the curb in front of the building on the right side of the frame. Two pedestrians can also be seen in this area. Willie S. Bryant's Barber Shop can also be seen in the same make and orientation as the Imperial Laundry building. In the background, sticking up from behind the two buildings are two tall thin towers. The smaller tower is painted in light and dark alternating colors. The top of the taller tower is painted in a light and dark checkered pattern. The rest of the tower is painted with the word "Laundry".On View
