Twin City Wheels


Not sure about the story behind this photo besides featuring the staff or family running the business of Twin City Laundry and Dry Cleaners.  The picture was for sale at a famous auction site and seems to date from the 30's or 40's.  Judging from the 41 Main Street address this business was listed as being at in a 1939 telephone directory, it is apparent that this morphed into Gunderson Cleaners at some point.

  1. This is a very nice photo. The buildings shown are still there on Water Street. The darker brick one is covered with board and batten on the bottom with white stucco above, but the foundation is the same. The two behind the truck and automobile are pretty much the same. The rough stone-work of the foundations has been smoothed over with mortar, the steps where the ladies were standing have likely been redone, and the white door has been replaced with a loading door of some sort.
