Interior of the Everglades Model Steam Laundry, circa 1927 - 1933.
The commercial laundry offered wet and dry cleaning, dying, alterations and custom tailoring. The Collier Company leased the building to T. M. Sellars, a dry cleaning businessman from St. Louis, MO, who moved from Ft. Myers to Everglades in 1926. The laundry opened October 27, 1927. Today, the laundry is a branch facility of the Collier County Museums. The Museum of the Everglades opened to the public in April 1998.
