1403 Hwy 395, Gardnerville, NV

Date of construction unkown.

This abandoned building sits at 1403 Hwy 395 in Gardnerville. It's shut tight, but if you peek in the windows you can see several items dating back to the late 1980s. It's a time capsule of sorts, with thousands of cars whizzing by and ignoring it every day.

Unfortunately the calendar on the wall was too faded to read from this far away. Maybe with better lighting, or a closer zoom, I could grab a date off of it to find out just when the building stopped being useful.

When I was growing up in Gardnerville back in the 50's and 60's, this was a laundry operated by Joe Nishikida and his wife. Their son, Joe Jr., was one of my best friends back in the grade school days. I believe "Junior," as his parents called him, is a captain with the Reno Fire Department now. Joe Sr. served in Italy during WWII in a Nisei (Japanese-American) battalion that became one of the most decorated units in US military history. My dad used to take his work shirts there to be laundered, and I remember he had to allow plenty of time. Mrs. Nishikida loved to visit with her patrons.
