Abstract
This digital scholarship project takes you on a tour of the rise and fall of the bawdy brothels that lined Downtown Atlanta’s Collins Street (and some other metro areas) from the late 1800s to the early 1900s—showcasing tantalizing tidbits from newspapers, census records, city directories, property records, maps, and more from the Georgia State University Library’s digital resources and elsewhere. Walk the streets (well, not like that!) and transport your imagination back to those bygone days when sin and Southern hospitality went hand in hand.
