Miss Hattie's Brothel – Belton, Texas (2014)

Miss Hattie's was built in the 1920's in Bell County, Belton Texas and is known to have been a former African American Brothel and speakeasy. The property was rumored to have once dabbled in the operations of moon shining. I was invited to independently check out the property. The main house is three stories up and was rumored to be Miss Hattie's bedroom. The circled doorway pictures come from that level. I called out the madam herself when I snapped these light abnormalities. At the time of the investigation the owner of the property was Ms. Nikki Starks. Nikki has since sold the property to investors who destroyed the home and redeveloped it into commercial buildings. What a shame... It was such an interesting historic property.
