Street address of tailor's is 107 S. F St. The sign reads: "This building built by Grays Harbor Bldg. Co. Office 308 E. Market, Aberdeen, Phone 522."
Thanks to Sam Talley, who writes: "In the 1960's I'd go here infrequently. They had private baths and men's and women's public baths which were bigger and less expensive to use. I and my friends always used the big public room because we NEVER saw other customers there. We always had the room to ourselves. We felt the place was about to close. Most people did not know it was still open. I guess that in its heyday it was quite the rage. One thing was for sure, we came out of there clean."
Talley also notes: "The address was 109 So. F St. and it was built by Elmer Anderson in 1928. It officially closed it doors in 1981. The original intent was to allow Finnish people to cleanse their souls and give themselves inner peace."
