The Male Prostitutes of Paresis (Columbia) Hall in NYC. An interesting piece of social history. They are obviously showing what is on offer to prospective clients. Columbia Hall, commonly known as Paresis Hall, was a male brothel and gay bar in New York City in the 1890s. Located on the Bowery near Cooper Union, the Hall was managed by James T. Ellison, and took its common nickname from a general term for syphilitic insanity. The building contained both a bar and a beer garden on the ground floor, with two floors of rooms above that were rented out. Paresis Hall was particularly renowned and reviled even at the time, and was a common target for both police activity and religious protests. Despite this, evidence suggests it was active until at least 1899.

Five of the Rent boys calling cards, advertising the merchandise at gangster Biff Ellison’s boy brothel Columbia / Paresis Hall in New York in the 1890s. Picture 1. Francis “The Horse” Kane. Picture 2. Tim Kelly Picture 3. Raymond Picture 4 Joshua Picture 5 Willy “The Bull” - sorry that his face is partially obscured, but I suppose his clients attention was diverted to other things.
