  1. Berthard (11 inch) & Julius (7 Inch), two clients at Paresis Hall, in a photo they gave to Jacob, one of the young sex workers in 1891. A rare photograph postcard, from 1891. The “Gentlemen Couple” are Berthard Jones, age 26 years, and Julius Burke, age 19 years. They were two “Client Gents” at the infamous male brothel “Paresis Hall.” The club was located in New York City. Situated on Fifth & Bowery, off of Cooper Square. It was one of three, “Male to Male” clubs that existed in NYC beginning in 1890. By the early 1900’s there were six such clubs in NYC. Given the Victorian view of the time, when these things were never bought to public attention, business “Seemed to be Brisk”. The clubs offered their own form of “Male Bonding” to the extreme. Berthard and Julius spent quite a lot of time at the club and enjoyed having a boy or two… together. As was the practice each of the boys applying at the clubs were subjected to an “Intense Personal Interview” with the owner and if not available an assigned boy. If the boy passed his interview he would be hired, and given a copy of the rules of the club, an appointment schedule, and asked if he preferred the role of the “Man”, of the “Lady”, or a specialty. Photographs were required to be taken of the boy at several local “Cabinet Studios” - these taken to provide a longing for a return visit by a paying Gent. They were given to the man or young man if his spending habits warranted. if not were made available for purchase. One the back of the card is the following information in faded pencil: “Nice Gents Who Come In From Time To Time And Have Me Together * Gave Me There (sic) Photo This Week… And Signed There (sic) Names For Me! * Berthard (11 inch) & Julius (7 Inch) * Jacob M. Miller * P.H. January 1891”

  16. These two photographs show Tommy O’Rourke (1) , and Johnny “The Bull” Gibson (2). Both were Sex Workers (Renters, or Male Prostitutes) at Columbia Hall (a.k.a. Paresis Hall) a brothel for male clients in New York during the 1880′s. It was closed down, due to its increasing popularity with the men of the city. I suppose these cards could be advertisements for what was for sale, or as a keepsake after the event.
