Built in 1917, what is popularly known as the El Paso Laundry Cleaners Building is one of the classic structures of downtown El Paso.
Measuring more than 36,400 square feet, the two-story brick building is now on the market for $2.9 million.
Located at 901 Santa Fe Street, the building sits on a just under 1-acre site and includes a basement.
Used for decades as a functioning laundry, the building is being advertised by realtor Sonny Brown Associates for its upgraded, repurposed multi-family potential.
In its heyday, with a staff of 200 people, it was noted by the El Paso Evening Post that the El Paso Laundry Cleaners Building was the largest electricity-user in the city for the simple reason that it “uses more steam than any other plant in El Paso.”
