History
16
Built in 1897 by German tailor August Tetzlaff, this Victorian-Romanesque brick building was designed as a saloon and bordello, offering female company in eight cribs and an elegant parlor, with a two-story outhouse, while whiskey, pool tables, and poker games entertained patrons on the ground floor alongside a Chinese restaurant and opium den at the back. The building stopped the devastating 1901 and 1903 fires that burned down all of "saloon row" to the east, and it is now on the National Register of Historic Places.
