This is a simply, one-story concrete industrial type building that is irregularly shaped. The main entrance, at the southwest corner, is cut away to face the curvature of the highway as it rounds the corner at that spot. That wall's parapet is slightly higher than the rest of the building, further exemplifying that as the main entrance. The building has been altered. Some windows have been replaced, others covered over, the smaller one on the entrance facade is possible new (not an original opening). The garage doors are of the metal roll-up variety. A second structure has been incorporated into the main structure on the north side. A chain-link fence surrounds the parking area. The building is on the northeast corner of 5th St. and McLoughlin Blvd.
Statement of Significance: This building was constructed in 1939 by the Oregon City Laundry, who had an earlier building on this site (they were listed here as early as the 1916 directory). It exemplifies a simple, utilitarian industrial building. The Oregon City Laundry was located in the building at least through the 1940s, possibly later. At the time of the 1983 survey, a welding shop was located at this site. It is currently part of the Larry Morton Transmission Service's facilities. Due to its alterations, it is no longer eligible as a contributing resource in a historic district.
