The building, now listed at 624 South MacDill, was built in 1947, with Palma Ceia Laundry advertising city-wide pickup and delivery, professional dying, and waterproofing. The company did a major facelift to the building in the mid-1950s. According to public records, Palma Ceia Laundry merged in 1968.

When this modern photo was taken, there was no signage or evidence of an ongoing business. The building has since been demolished.
