Luling's City Laundry
1730-1746 E. DouglasWichita (Sedgwick County)
Listed in National Register Feb 3, 2012
Architect: Not listed
Area of Significance: manufacturing facility
Architectural Style(s): Commercial
Likely enticed by his older brother and Wichita pioneer businessman Charles Luling, a young Julius Luling arrived in Wichita during the height of the 1880s real estate boom. Julius began his laundry business career at the Wichita Steam Laundry, the city’s first professional laundry operation. He remained there until 1910 when he began operating his own laundries. In 1924, Julius followed the lead of many other prominent businessmen and industrialists and hired well-known Wichita contractor George Siedhoff to construct a new laundry building. When it opened, the Luling Laundry employed 60 people, most of them women. The arduous laundry process consumed 50,000 gallons of near-boiling water each day, and began with a rinse, then an hour-long wash, and then dried with "centrifugal water extractors" whirling at "a rate of a thousand revolutions a minute." Starched clothes were hung and passed through a steam chamber. Although Julius died unexpectedly in 1929, his laundry business thrived and expanded in the 1930s. The building is nominated for its association with the steam laundry industry in Wichita and for its Commercial-style architecture.

McACO was one of the largest printing and binding companies in the city from its founding in 1912 until 2019 when EP Graphics acquired it. The company consistently competed with the largest printers in the city and state; by 1960, their net sales equaled $6.24 million, the highest in the company’s history, and they were one of four printers in the state employing over one hundred people. Beginning in 1923, McACO operated from the building at 1501 East Douglas Avenue. The ground floor housed offices, warehouse space, composing room, with the printing plant occupying most of the floor; the second floor housed the art and photostatting departments. As the company grew, the building expanded to be able to house new equipment and employees that broadened McACO’s offerings. The first addition occurred in 1946 followed by one in 1952. McACO also purchased additional buildings around the city out of which to operate. When acquired in 2019, McACO was operating out of four buildings and retained the building on East Douglas Avenue as its administrative headquarters and main production center. Due to the importance of the McCormick-Armstrong Press Company, the building’s period of significance begins in 1923 with its opening and extends to 1970, the fifty-year closing date for periods of significance where activities begun historically continue to have importance but no more specific date can be determined.
