Review:
Creek Street was once Ketchikan’s thriving red light district, filled with people who were looking for a good time in the form of hard liquor and female companionship. As the brothels were shut down one after the other, the last one to remain was Dolly’s House, named after the dollhouse-like appearance of its exterior. Years after it was permanently shut down in 1954, the house was converted into a museum so that visitors could get a sneak peek into Ketchikan’s rambunctious past. Inside, you’ll be able to see several photos of Dolly, much of the original decor, and even the “secret closet” in her bedrooms, where she hid contraband liquor during Prohibition. Dolly's House Museum is a great way to experience an edgy aspect of the town’s history and shouldn’t be missed.
