At first, living in a former house of ill repute might not sound all that appealing. But then again, when you look at Idaho s housing market? A 6,228 square foot 7 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house for less than $300K sounds like a steal.
Of course, that is if you can get past what happened behind closed doors there. The property we re talking about is located at 611 Cedar St, the heart of the former Red Light District in Wallace, ID. Until the late 1980s, it was one of the many brothels in the small mining town. According to Heather Branstetter s website outlining the history of brothels in Wallace, it had gone by the names the Western, the Jade and finally the Luxette, which it operated as until it closed.

There are so many cool things about this 116 year old building, we don t know exactly where to begin! So, let s start at the beginning.shall we?
The very first entity to call 105 E Wallace Avenue in Coeur d Alene home was the Roosevelt School. It first opened its doors to students in 1905 and continued to operate as a four room school house until 1972.
Seven years after it closed, it was sold to a man that turned it into an office building. That was it s primary use until 1994 when it was converted into a bed and breakfast known as The Roosevelt Inn. A few years later, the B&B hit the market and a former student at the Roosevelt School snapped up the opportunity to own the building where he learned the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. That former student s name is John Hough. He purchased it for $700,000 and didn t tell his wife, Tina, until after the deal was complete.
