At the turn of the twentieth century, one American city did something almost unthinkable: it created a legally recognized red-light district and allowed prostitution to operate openly within its boundaries.Just north of the French Quarter, a sixteen-block district emerged where brothels, saloons, dance halls, and music houses operated under city supervision.
