Everyone knew about Pearl Street in Dayton’s Red Light District, but nobody admitted so.
“Most of the houses were ornately trimmed; each had the name of the proprietor, a single woman posted in the door glass or permanently etched there, and at night, in the window on a table sat a red lamp, spreading its cheery invitation to all. Within the houses many women followed a profession dignified only by its extreme age.”
