DESCRIPTION

Caption below photo: this circa 1905-1910 photo of 1218 Oak includes signage that appears to state cleaning or cleaners, which fits the advertising from the 1907 era. In this circa 1905-1910 photo, 1218 Oak may have housed more than one business. In 1905 it was the Isshin Rou restaurant and also a Japanese Employment Office. On January 24, 1907, a J. Fujikawa advertised cleaning and washing. On February 1, 1908 a Mr. Fujii advertised his washing and ironing skill and in 1910 it was the residence of Takuma Ito. Perhaps it functioned as boarding house, too.
