bordello

soiled doves
      "Come on in!
      This your first time Honey?" ...

This may have been what you'd hear when cautiously and curiously stepping inside your first smoke-filled, dimly lit, nineteenth century bordello and seeing a Dove, only this dove was flightless. After that first contact, caution was history, which is why this site exists; the love of old west notorious history from gold strike tent towns to established cities and the bad men and women that made their presence known.


Prostitutes concentrated in the blocks between Bourbon and Rampart Streets, particularly along Bienville, Burgundy, Conti, Dauphine, and St. Louis Streets.     Source:   loyno.edu
