Abstract

Red Light District to Prescott's quietest downtown lot: From the late 1860s until the 1900 fire, this site was home to two populations that were segregated from Prescott's other citizens - the Chinese community and the "red light district." Although both groups are well-known stock characters in the "old west" past, little is known of their day to day lives. There is a general study summarizing Prescott's Chinese community in the Journal of the Southwest Spring 1989 issue.
