Early Commercialization of Carnegie Avenue

Early Commercialization of Carnegie Avenue
In 1903, just several years after it was announced that Cleveland planned to use Sibley Street as part of its proposed new southern thoroughfare to the city's east end, the Cleveland Laundry Company moved from a building located on Water (West 9th) Street to a new building at 170 Sibley Street (2840 Carnegie Avenue). The company was one of a number of laundries, bakeries, and automobile businesses, which located on the future Carnegie Avenue in the first decade of the twentieth century. This sketch of the Cleveland Laundry Company's new building appeared in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on August 23, 1902. | Source: Cleveland Public Library, Newspaper Collection
