A Little Bit of History: The Sewanee Steam Laundry

John Bordley has written a brochure about the Sewanee Steam Laundry—the former business, its buildings and the people who worked there. The brochure may be seen and read at the Crossroads Café and at IvyWild. Copies can be purchased at cost for $1 from Crossroads Café or from Bordley.
The brochure features a history of the laundry and a diagram of where each piece of equipment was and the people who worked at each workstation.
Bordley comments that one of the pleasures about working on the project was re-establishing acquaintance with James William Sherrill and Ina May Myers. Sherrill and Myers are two of Sewanee’s finest and most interesting citizens, and they took great pride in remembering and retelling stories about an institution where they worked.
