Being quite literal in the naming of this district, the National Register has referred to it as the B Street District, though the name could as well have been the less politically correct Red Light District, for that is exactly what it was for over a half century. The district remained a red light district until the 1940s, when the houses were forced to close and the ladies "encouraged" to move on - not out of town mind you, just to the edge of town.
Though the district was about a block and a half in length, comprised of about nine houses, only four are nominated as contributing for their "architectural quality and unity".
