Hassan Tailor and Launderama

The heavily fortified storefront on East Broadway at Fraser Street dates from 1931. According to artist and historian Michael Kluckner the old house in the back with the Launderama is positively ancient as it dates from 1897. The old sign out front for the laundromat is also very old and is now extremely faded. I'm guessing it's from the 1960's. It doesn't light up anymore but it's aways great to see an old sign around town.

Fast forward to April 2017 and the Launderama has closed and Hassan's is living on borrowed time. A developer has bought the three buildings at the South East corner at Fraser and East Broadway and a new building is in the works.
