Historic Vice Maps Of Chicago
The vice maps below were created by Levee historian Bryan Lloyd. They depict all of the bars, dives, brothels, saloons, pool halls and gambling houses in the Levee and Little Cheyenne Districts of Chicago between 1870 and 1923.
Some of my favorite place names include:
- Rose Lovejoys
- Bed Bug Row 10¢ Cribs
- The Badlands
- Suicide Hall
- The Morgue
- Ike The Jew
- Blubber Bob Gray’s “The California”
