"The site was originally owned and operated by McCabe and Powers who manufactured jeep and truck chassis during World War II. The property was purchased from McCabe and Powers by American Linen in the 1960s. American Linen operated the site as a commercial laundry until it was sold in the mid-1980s to Charlie Gallagher who maintained the site as a commercial laundry. The property was again sold in the late-1980s to the Norman Corporation, which continued to operate the site as a commercial laundry until it ceased most operations in the late 1990s"
Best known as Norman Industrial Laundry Corporation aka the place with the mountain of gloves. Just an empty lot now.

Another place I never explored!
More online investigation than onsite exploration these days.

Individually it's not a major loss but it's just another easy location that's going away and was a fun place to spend an hour downwind from a sweet smelling bakery.

When was it demolished? Was last there in the spring - lots of random junk piles inside.
The glove pile was one of Scott Hocking's installations in the area.
