The block-long district was located in the center of town off Wyoming Street.

The north side of the alley was lined with the famous "double-deckers", where the alley-level cribs were surmounted by a wooden planks and a second row of cribs. The women who worked the cribs typically wore brightly-colored and short-skirted dresses. The cribs were equipped with callboxes for ordering drinks or food from nearby bars and noodle parlors. // Events and Trends Technology Development and commercial production of electric lighting Development and commercial production of gasoline-powered automobile by Karl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler and Maybach First commercial production and sales of phonographs and phonograph recordings. ...
