Silver in 1913. It was later operated by his daughter, [[Edythe S. Smith]]. It was destroyed in a spectacular fire on June 12, 1955; the Smith home nearby was saved. At the time of its destruction, it employed 16 to 18 workers during its busy season. &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> <br /> After the fire, the Troy Laundry offered the use of its facilities to Mrs. Smith. There were initially plans to rebuild, but in November 1955 it was merged with the [[Troy Laundry]]. &lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; A local twelve year old boy later confessed to setting the fires. &lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Other historic properties|&#039;&#039;&#039;Other historic properties&#039;&#039;&#039;]] <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Comments&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Footnotes&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> 1.
