Abstract
The Dryve Cleaners was designed by architect O. T. Marshall in 1987. It is located at 5180 Poplar Avenue in the Audubon area of East Memphis. The building is an oddly designed drive through dry cleaners. The building is in Art Deco architectural style and made of concrete. There are strip windows on all sides of the building. There is a large tent roof giving the building a carnival like appearance. There are large stepped pylons with large masts rising from them which support the roof. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
