[edit] Summary

"The Bowery - Ten Cent Turkish Bath"

This photograph was taken c.1884 as this Turkish bath has no records after that date.

Note in "Prostitution, Hustling, and Sex Work" by Heather Lee Miller on 25-Oct-2005:
"New York City possessed perhaps the best-known gay subculture and a burgeoning population of male prostitutes. When New York City moral reformer Charles H. Parkhurst accompanied detective Charles W. Gardener to a brothel called the "Golden Rule Pleasure Club" in 1892, he was appalled to find that the young "women" residents were actually men wearing dresses and make-up and speaking in falsetto so as to appear like women. At another male brothel known as Paresis Hall in the Bowery district, dozens of male prostitutes plied their trade."
