Washington experienced an unprecedented rise in prostitution during and after the Civil War.
During this period, Pennsylvania Avenue became DC's most notorious red-light district, from the ramshackle "boarding houses" of Murder Bay to the glamorous pleasure houses of Marble Alley, all within sight of the Capitol. Also, a new profession for women was rising, that of the "female lobbyist." This tour will introduce you to some of the most notorious women of mid-19th Century DC,&nbsp; The route starts at the Willard Intercontinental and travels down Pennsylvania Avenue, which was the main thoroughfare along which DC's red-light district arose. The tour ends at the National Museum of the American Indian.
