Holy Cross Laundry, Heritage-listed benevolent institution in Wooloowin, Queensland, Australia
The Holy Cross Laundry occupies a single-story brick building with high ceilings, tall sash windows, and verandahs designed for optimal ventilation and workflow efficiency.
Established in 1889 by the Sisters of Mercy, this institution served as a refuge for unmarried mothers and destitute women while operating as Brisbane's oldest charitable laundry.
The facility transformed from a Magdalen Asylum into a commercial laundry that provides employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual disabilities across Queensland.
Located at 60 Bridge Street, the laundry delivers professional cleaning services to hospitals, aged care facilities, and educational institutions throughout the Brisbane area.
The current structure maintains two operational steam rollers from the mid-20th century, connecting its industrial heritage to modern commercial laundry services.
