Danny-Darko Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 These two photographs show Tommy O’Rourke (1) , and Johnny “The Bull” Gibson (2). Both were Sex Workers (Renters, or Male Prostitutes) at Columbia Hall (a.k.a. Paresis Hall) a brothel for male clients in New York during the 1880′s. It was closed down, due to its increasing popularity with the men of the city. I suppose these cards could be advertisements for what was for sale, or as a keepsake after the event.

Danny-Darko Posted June 5, 2021 Share Posted June 5, 2021 The Male Prostitutes of Paresis (Columbia) Hall in NYC. An interesting piece of social history. They are obviously showing what is on offer to prospective clients. Columbia Hall, commonly known as Paresis Hall, was a male brothel and gay bar in New York City in the 1890s. Located on the Bowery near Cooper Union, the Hall was managed by James T. Ellison, and took its common nickname from a general term for syphilitic insanity. The building contained both a bar and a beer garden on the ground floor, with two floors of rooms above that were rented out. Paresis Hall was particularly renowned and reviled even at the time, and was a common target for both police activity and religious protests. Despite this, evidence suggests it was active until at least 1899. + easygoingpal and Rod Hagen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
