	In 1891, Lou was acquitted at an attempt to close the business but many police including the chief refused to testify against the character of the women or the parlor, the jury reached a not-guilty verdict within three minutes[17]. The business was subject to many raids and arrests throughout its lifetime[18,19]. Many times these were for charges of selling liquor without a license, which were charges paid for through fines[20,21]. Unironically, the city would reject liquor licenses from those with prior charges of "running a house of ill-fame", like Lou Graham did in 1887, leaving ~~the~~ such parlors unable to get liquor licenses and charged for selling without them.

	Madame Louise "Lou" Graham (1860/1861 (contested) to March 11, 1903[1,2]; age 46-48) owned a bordello located in Pioneer Square in [[Seattle, Washington]] (the area was known then as Whitechapel, "Tenderloin District", "Seattle's Tenderloin", or Red-Light District). Lou's parlor and others like it were referred to as a "house of ill-fame" by media and ordinance at the time. Robert Abrams, a Territorial Legislator, sold land at a corner on Fourth and S. Washington, to who he believed was a man named Lou. Graham for $3000 in 1885[3], other records state she gave him $3500 on August 1, 1890[4]. After the Great Seattle Fire in 1889, Lou Graham rebuilt her business at 323 Washington, later 223 Washington, spending $25,000 to construct a three-story brick building[5], today known as the Washington Court Building at Third and S.

	Lou Graham would hire others who lived at her venue as seamstresses offering tailoring services, a cover for sex workers at the time. Lou herself is believed to have had a romantic relationship and partnership with another woman, Amber Delmas[6], and she hired, possibly, transgender women who would be requested by clients as "the lady in the black dress". Lou Graham never became a citizen of the United States, a German immigrant, but did make an attempt in 1894. She had no known children while here[7,8] however had an adopted daughter, Ulma Delmas[9, 10]. Ulma is the daughter of her "housekeeper" Amber Delmas, believed to be Lou's romantic partner. Ulma was said to get most of the estate, but the will was destroyed in an argument between Amber and Lou. Graham's possessions were challenged by relatives in Germany but, without citizenship, all her property in Washington could acquired by the state through escheatment, the county argued. Also Robert Abrams, who sold her the lot in 1885, attempted to seize her property claiming the title he gave her was invalid as she never had citizenship[11]. The matter was highly contested for several years[12,13,14].
