Home to uproarious saloons, swindling gambling dens and thriving brothels, Terre Haute's infamous West End was so wild that the Chicago Tribune called it "the scene of a hundred all night carousings." Pimps, pickpockets and con men roamed the crowded streets where legendary madam Edith Brown's pleasure palace was the crown jewel of brothels.
