The following is from the Historic Buildings Inventory as revised in 1985:
This is a carefully-detailed commercial structure decorated with classical ornamental motifs and topped by a Mission Revival parapet with projecting ledge.
A good example of commercial designs of the period. the City of Paris cleaning and dyeing works was opened in 1922 at 625 Ramona Street by L. Carie, formerly of San Francisco. By 1925, the business had been joined by Jean Picard and Paul Costes, and the present building was constructed. The firm was owned by Paul Costes until 1985.
PAST was active in 2005 to preserve the French Laundry as a significant contributor to Homer Avenue.
