Good-bye To All That
Former bordello owner Alta Roberts poses in front of her former Water Street (now Marcy Street) establishment in 1933 at the age of 78, two decades after the closing of the red light district. Today, this building is the only known former bordello still standing on the Portsmouth waterfront. Photo courtesy of the Charles H. Hayward collection.
