Excelsior Laundry

The Excelsior Steam Laundry was a clothes and linen cleaning service located at 1805-07 2nd Avenue North from the 1880s to the early 1900s. It was owned by George Blinn, Jr and J. W. Donnelly.

During the 1886 Mardi Gras parade, the Excelsior Steam Laundry entered a float parodying another float by the Birmingham Steam Laundry which featured a large reclining figure "fanning away opposition."
