The brick chimney on the former Spring Grove laundry site - and before that the site of Swastika Laundry - on Shelbourne Road, Dublin 4, is a protected structure.

The original Swastika Laundry was established in 1912 and stayed in business until as recently as the late 1960s, when its trucks travelled around Dublin emblazoned with the symbol appropriated by the Nazis. In 1939, the company changed its name to Swastika Laundry (1912).

The laundry's chimneystack was emblazoned with a large white swastika; the name and logo disappeared when the laundry was absorbed into the Spring Grove company.

The swastika was an ancient symbol for "good luck" in India and its name originates from the Sanskrit "svastika".
