The notorious Gloucester House, demolished prior to 1923, stands to the right. Once a respectable hotel and boarding house, it will forever be remembered as a bordello in the city’s Red Light District that closed in 1912. Madam Mary Baker, legend says, had diamonds embedded in her teeth in an era long before "bling". Furniture storeowner Donald Margeson, a founder of Strawbery Banke, moved his house to this location in the 1930s.
