Heath's Laundry
Walking around Downtown Albany, I stumbled upon Heath's Laundry. As a lover of old things, the sign out front called me in to investigate. The manager, Rema, is close to the Heath family and has been with the business for over 30 years. She allowed me to walk around and capture some of the inner workings. Heath's Laundry, established in 1953 by Kenneth Heath at 521 3rd Ave SW boasts its original sign today. Employees are pressing clean laundry through an American Super Sylon, a piece of machinery that was manufactured in 1939 and given to Heath's Laundry in 1953 from the hospital. The machanisms of the Super Sylon show its true age, but also go to show that it was built to last.
