The Alaska Steam Laundry was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The nomination read in part:nnIn 1894, Mr. and Mrs. E.R. Jaeger of Tacoma, Washington, flipped a coin to determine whether they should move to Hawaii or Alaska.nnAlaska won.nnHaving chosen Juneau as the most promising business location in the Alaskan Territory, Jaeger arrived there in 1895. A large population of unmarried miners and millworkers made laundry and cleaning lucrative enterprises. After leasing the Juneau Steam Laundry, located in log cabin on a hillside, Jaeger sent for his wife who sailed on the maiden voyage of the new flagship of the leading Alaska line, Willapa.nnThe couple lived for several years in a cabin adjoining the laundry then moved with their young daughter to a larger building on Front Street.nnAround 1900, Jaeger decided to build a showcase operation with outlets in Apollo, Valdez, Sitka, Ketchikan and Wrangell. He named his enterprise Alaska Steam Laundry to indicate its scope.nnThe Victorian building which survives today is essentially unchanged.
