The World's Largest Brothel
Saturday, December 13, 2008 at 10:18AM The world's largest brothel was here in Seattle, at the base of Beacon Hill. 500 rooms built by the mayor in 1910, Hiriam Gill. Hiriam Gill served as mayor on two occasions. He ran on the platform of breaking up vice in Seattle's red light district, The Lavabeds, and moving houses of ill repute out of the district. The second time he ran, he promised to contain the houses back in the district as they had started to take root in other neighborhoods, like Ballard, Georgetown and residential neighborhoods. Here is a picture of the world's largest brothel:
