Chinese Laundry, Historical commercial building in Gaslamp Quarter, San Diego County, United States
The Chinese Laundry building at 527 4th Avenue features architectural elements typical of 1920s commercial structures in Southern California.
The structure, built in 1923, housed the Hop Lee Chong Laundry continuously from its construction until 1964, serving the local community.
This building represents the economic contributions of Chinese immigrants who established numerous laundry businesses throughout San Diego in the early 1900s.
