H.M.Y.+Laundry

H.M.Y. Laundry is located at 84-14 Jamaica Avenue between Forest Parkway and 85th Street. According to a St. Thomas' Church Bulletin from the mid 70's,this was formerly the home of Bestway Travel.



Earlier, in the 1940s there was a small white shack to the right of where this Laundry now resides. It has since been demolished and this is now a driveway that leads to parking. The right-hand side of the laundry's double-lot was occupied by what appears to be a confectionery.



This next shot, though not very clear, does give us a few more details. You can see the words "Wholesale" and "Confection" in the window of the first lot. And the second lot (the left-hand side of the laundry today) appears to have been a paint shop.



Here's is a better shot of the left-hand side of this lot in which you can see the paint store (at the right of this image).
