 This drab, unpretentious looking masonry edifice was Laura Evan's main parlor on Front Street, Salida, Colorado. It was common for an ornate orchestrion, as well as other decorative furnishings, to provide color and excitement to an otherwise dull and uninteresting building. |  The "cribs" building located across the street from Laura's main parlor building. Clients would first meet the "girls" in the main parlor, and then, after making a selection, might scamper across the street to an empty "crib," whereupon they would complete their business transaction. |
