Whore House - Now a museum

You gave a good tribute to the Wallace stoplight, but you missed the real attraction. I grew up in the area, and until 1992 there was a fully functional, real life whore house in Wallace, Idaho, just like in the movies, complete with a menu. The Feds raided the whole valley in 92 and the place was shut down, but it is now a museum.

[Mark Wasson, 12/10/1997]

Wallace is a town of marvels. The CofC hands out a walking tour guide that will direct you to, among other things: the Prostitution Museum; a railroad depot built with Chinese bricks; Elk tracks in a city sidewalk; the Pulaski monument, which honors the 1910 fire hero who saved 37 of his men by leading them into two old mine tunnels nearby.
