Spankin-Kleen Launderette

The Spankin-Kleen Launderette, in downtown Liberty NY, gets a well needed face lift to it's googie design front. A worker scrapes old paint from the fins.

 

Liberty NY was the heart of the Jewish Catskills resort area. Liberty was the home of Grossingers, one of the largest, and most prominent of the Catskills resorts. Once, a very busy town during the summers.

 

Today, it is a sleepy little village, looking slightly depressed, with lots of empty store fronts, and typical businesses such as a dollar store, wireless, laundromat, and a number of antique and craft stores.
