From what I can gather, this building was originally built as a church, which started construction in 1884. It was turned into a laundry in 1891, and then heavily renovated around 1940 by architect William Dodge. The Swannanoa Laundry (now named Swannanoa Cleaners) moved out some time after that, but the building remains in a state of disrepair.

NOTE: I do not condone entering these types of places alone or without permission! I had someone with me, had permission to enter, and the floors and such were checked to make sure they were stable before walking around. Want to truly be safe? Don't do it at all. But of course, what's the fun in that?

UPDATE: This location has now been demolished :( http://i.imgur.com/uNVdwqd.jpg
