: You may want to get your hands on the book "Daughters of Joy Sisters of Misery" Prositutes in the American West 1865-90 by Anne M. Butler. Published by University of Illinois Press. There are a number of photos contained in this book.
There is a house in Coffeyville, Ks that was a
FANCY brothel. I don't know the exact address.
It is next door to 701 Willow in downtown C'ville.
It is a large Victorian brick home. The city
manager now owns it. You could probably get more
info from a local lawyer that owned it for several
years named Mike Hassenplug. I think it was built
in the 1890's. I know 701 Willow next door wasn't
built until 1906.
