Keep Klean @ 800 E 3rd

In 1929 the Wichita Towel Supply expanded its base of operations into a new fireproof building to accommodate their Wichita service. The building was named Keep Klean referring to the “Keep Klean System” that owner Brace Helfrich developed and franchised. In 1930 the building was expanded to accommodate a laundry/boiler room. The Keep Klean Building is an L-shaped building. The original 1929 brick building with sawtooth roof includes and a two story tower. The 1930 addition features storefront windows. The exterior of the Keep Klean Building represents the early twentieth-century Commercial Style. The building features geometric masonry patterns including applied carved decoration, multiple-pane sash, rough brick with raked mortar joints and a capped parapet at the roofline. The building’s brick facade and steel windows are attributes common among fireproof commercial construction that became the norm during the Progressive Era. The interior is divided according to the various spaces’ historic uses. The two-story section housed the offices of the Wichita Towel Supply Company until it’s closing in 1978. Character defining features include hardwood and terrazzo floors. The front reception area features a staircase with cast-iron railing. The building has been beautifully restored and currently houses two business; Cablecom and Belford Electric.
