The Dumas Brothel is full of history and tales. One cannot walk down the hallways of the old brothel and not feel the history. "If these walls could talk!" is what most vistors say when they visit The Historical Dumas Brothel. These are pictures of the inside and out of the building's three floors and alley "cribs". Take a look at history.........
 

Please be patient while the photos load. It is well worth the wait!

Fridge hiding place---This fridge was modifide for a hiding place for "Sandra" who was hiding from the Police.(her pasport had expired) There are air holes and locks on the inside of the doors! The outside handle appears broken, so if the Police checked it, they would walk right on by!  The Madame (Ruby Garrett) told me that they never did catch Sandra in the fridge. She said the reason was that, the Cops would call in advance before they came so that businessmen and politicians would not be embarressed by being caught in the Dumas!
