Vernon’s Steam Laundry is one of the smaller murals in Vernon. Its size does not diminish the workmanship and creativity of the artists.

There is a sign with an article from the Vernon News, dated June 18, 1908

It reads as follows:
"The Vernon Stream Laundry opened its door for business on Monday… a telephone was installed in the office, and a covered delivery van put on, so that the proprietors are in a position to give prompt and satisfactory service to their patrons."

Note: Phone 52 on the delivery van

All the murals are well done paying tribute to the artist's talent and creativity for any passersby to enjoy.

The murals are numbered and we will showcase

In 1908, Mr. Cecil Johnston opened Vernon’s very first commercial laundry aptly named, Vernon Steam Laundry and Dry Cleaners. They promised prompt and satisfactory service.
