	Everleigh Club (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The Everleigh Club was a high-class brothel which operated in Chicago, Illinois from February 1900 until October 1911.
		The Everleigh sisters were born near Louisville, Kentucky in the 1870s.
		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.

	Everleigh, Ada and Minna
		Born, according to the most credible evidence, near Louisville, Kentucky, Ada on February 15, 1876, and Minna on July 5 or 13, 1878, the sisters were probably originally of the surname Lester.
		In less than two years the Everleigh sisters had doubled their investment, which they liquidated to buy out a flourishing brothel at 2131 South Dearborn Street in Chicago.
		Minna died on September 16, 1948, after which Ada moved to Virginia, where she died on January 3, 1960.

	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.
		With that, Minna and her older sister, Ada, opened what would become the best little bordello in Chicago and, for a time, one of the best known in the world.
		Minna and Ada Everleigh, then 21 and 23, took their name from their grandmother's habit of signing her letters "Everly Yours." Raised in a prosperous Southern family, the sisters fled bad marriages to become touring actresses and ended up in Chicago after running a bagnio in Omaha during the Trans-Mississippi Exposition.

		When Everleigh House opened, admission was $10, dinner was $50, a bottle of champagne $12, and then, if you wanted to spend private time with one of the girls, it was another $50.
		Minna, the outspoken one, said, "If it weren't for married men, we couldn't have carried on at all, and if it weren't for cheating married women we could have made another million."
		Although the Everleigh sisters and their employees earned good money in luxurious circumstances, most prostitutes worked in very different situations.

		The same holds true for any butterfly pins (being a popular craze in the early 1900s) 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 7-inch clasp at her waist.
		In fact, the sisters referred to the more than 600 "girls" in their employ as "butterflies" who came and went and worked for them over a period of 11 years before the bordello was closed by the mayor on Oct. 23, 1911.
		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.

	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.
