The Royal Laundry Complex is a historic laundry plant located at 443 S. Raymond Avenue in Pasadena, California. The site's main plant was constructed in 1927 for the Royal Laundry Company, a laundry service founded in 1910. Gordon Kaufmann, a prominent architect who also designed the Hoover Dam and several buildings at the California Institute of Technology, designed the plant. Kaufman's Spanish Colonial Revival design for the plant signified a shift in his style to include modern elements, which ultimately came to dominate his work. The plant's south annex, a Streamline Moderne building topped by a pylon, was added to the complex around 1930. An additional building providing drive-up service was constructed in 1939, an adaptation to the rise of the automobile; this building was topped by an overhead sign advertising the business in 1955. The laundry complex, which is located in an industrial neighborhood of Pasadena, has been described as one of the most architecturally significant industrial buildings in the city.〔 (Accompanied by photos ).〕 The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places on September 27, 2007.〔 The complex is currently the company headquarters of the Disney Store. The interior of the headquarters was designed by Clive Wilkinson. == See also ==
