Dear Visionaries and Tim:

This gives me another chance to plug a rich source of information for anyone 
interested in Moscow and Latah County history.  The Latah County Historical 
Society has a large collection of documents and photographs, not to mention the 
expertise of Mary Reed and Ann Catt.  I am sure that they could answer this 
question for us.  My own understanding, (if I remember correctly since it was 
research I did 10 plus years ago) there was a business at the intersection of A 
and Jackson (on the north corner if one is facing west on A) that provided 
those services.  I don't know how long the enterprise continued, but certainly 
around the turn of the 20th century it was flourishing.  As I recall from a 
microfilm of an old Moscow newspaper, frequently there were fights, at least one 
suicide and a couple of murders connected with the women who worked there and 
the men who patronized the place.  However, I must qualify that information 
with the note that I was working on another research project at the time and 
while this was salacious reading it was not directly connected to my topic, so my 
memory of it is not necessarily reliable.  Please contact Ann or Mary and rely 
on their information.  I have provided a link to email or just call them.  
LCHS is a wonderful asset to our community.
