	Everleigh Club: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The Everleigh Club was a high-class brothel which operated in Chicago, Illinois from February 1900 until October 1911.
		Located on South Dearborn Street, the Everleigh Club was described by Chicago's Vice Commission as "the most famous and luxurious house of prostitution in the country." In addition to gold-framed paintings and lether-bound volumes in the library, the club housed a $15,000 gold-leaf piano and $650 gold cuspidors.
		By 1902, the club expanded and the sisters were making donations to the First Ward Aldermen, "Bathhouse" John Coughlin and Michael "Hinky-Dink" Kenna to ensure their continued leeway.

	Everleigh Club in Memoriam by Sean Parnell
		The Everleigh sisters, were born the decade after the Civil war (the 1870's for you less-than-history buffs) near Louisville Kentucky.
		The club, ultimately housed in twin brownstone mansions, was even more opulent than the one in Omaha, with its mahogany and walnut paneling, tapestries, oriental rugs, statuary, gold-framed nude paintings, a library filled with expensively bound volumes, and a music parlor featuring a $15,000 gold-leaf piano.
		The modern-day Everleigh Club closed in the late 1990's and prompted former owner Chris Schuba to join his brother Mike in the management and ownership of Schuba's Tavern.

		In 1911 the club was shut down by "reformist" Mayor Carter H. Harrison.

		Everleigh, was spending the winter on the Riviera and felt that for their own sake she must not allow herself to have the boys with her.
		Everleigh's head, had decided instantly that she was the most beautiful woman in the world; and that impression is not easily corrected in the half-light of a shaded drawing-room; nor across a dinner-table lighted only with candles with deep red shades; nor even in the daytime through a veil.

	Everleigh Sisters remembered at Little Bar
		Behind the doors of the twin brownstones at 2131-33 S. Dearborn St., Minna Everleigh gave her final instructions: "You have the whole night before you and one $50 client is more desirable than five $10 ones.
		Minna and Ada Everleigh, then 21 and 23, took their name from their grandmother's habit of signing her letters "Everly Yours."

		Q At an estate sale, I bought a beautiful vase decorated with colorful butterflies that had an attached tag saying it came out of the Everleigh Club, which was a turn-of-the-century Chicago bordello run by the Everleigh sisters.
		Therefore, your vase (in order to have added value) would have to be positively identified and documented as actually having been part of the bordello's lavish and luxurious furnishings.
		Without proof-positive documentation, there would be no way to tell whether your diamond butterfly pin belonged to Minna Everleigh unless you wake her from beyond by holding a seance.

		Joan Lee Anderson, Springfield, IL A: Although the notorious and naughty madams, Ada and Minna Everleigh (who opened their exquisite and expensively-furnished bordello on Feb. 1,1900 in an impressive three-story, fifty room brown-stone which stood at 2131-33 South Dearborn in Chicago) loved butterflies and no doubt had many expensive items decorated with the butterfly motif.
		The same holds true for any butterfly pins that (being a popular craze in the early 1900’s) and that Minna adored and wore studded with diamonds, in all sizes on the front of her gown, beginning with a small brooch at her neck to a seven-inch clasp at her waist.
		Without proof-positive documentation, there would be no way to tell whether or not your diamond butterfly pin belonged to Minna Everleigh unless you wake her from beyond by holding a seance, or by contacting her spirit on a Ouija board.
