Danny-Darko Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 THE RENT BOYS OF PARESIS HALL, NEW YORK CITY IN THE 1890s The top picture shows the various ‘Renters’ (Sex Workers) in a group photograph. The tangle of implements, I suppose, are designed to give them an air of respectability. The pictures of individual boys are the calling cards to give to clients. The final picture shows Paresis or Columbia Hall in recent years. The Hall served as a all male brothel and gay bar for some years. Due to it’s ever increasing popularity it was closed down by the city authorities. marylander1940, + Charlie and + bashful 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoped his life turned out well and was able to feel love and freedom after serving in prison for such an absurd "crime" as to be himself in a way that caused no harm to another living thing.
