Creek Street


Creek Street in Ketchikan, Alaska is best known as the old red light district. At times home to as many as 20 houses of ill repute.  During prohibition whiskey was delivered at high tide to trapdoors under some of these fine establishments. Today, Creek Street is a tourist attraction, many of the homes are now souvenir shops and restaurants. At the famous 'Dolly's House' is a museum of it's past. The sign outside reads "Where both men and salmon came upstream, to spawn".
