 | | BUTTE, Mont. -- The Dumas Brothel Museum, where tourists could learn about the historic house of ill repute that once occupied the site, is closing permanently because the building is falling down and the owner is ill. |
 | | Rudy Giecek says the building he has owned the past 15 years won't open for this year's tourist season. |
 | | Giecek said the cost of refurbishing the building, coupled with outstanding back taxes and liens, have made it difficult to sell, and he expects it will become property of the city because he can't meet his tax obligations. |
