| Photo on the
left is my Mother, Marie G. Eubank, standing in front of Warwick's One-Hour Cleaner that
was located on 25th Street, directly behind (and connected to) the main Laundry building
on 24th Street. The building in the background is the Warwick Hotel Annex,
which housed a series of lower priced or budget hotel rooms. Between the Annex and
the Warwick Hotel main building, part of which can be seen in far background (upper right
side of photo), was a small park that included a playground for kids. I spent many
hours in this playground before and after school (see A Little
Personal History). The Warwick Hotel
main building still stands and has a fabulous history (National
Register of Historical Places), (National Association of Housing and
Redevelopment Officials). The other photo is Mom siting inside the
25th Street office, most likely wondering how she ended up in a place like this.
Photos were taken in the Winter of 1958. |
