The room is named after Belle Brezing, one of Lexington's most
infamous female entrepreneurs of the 19th-century. |
|
 |
Belle was a powerful Madam, successful in combining the sophistication of
Victorian culture with the nitty-gritty aspect of running a business. |
|
 |
As one story goes, she got in trouble with the city over some kind of zoning issue,
but after a visit to the Governor's mansion, the issue was quickly resolved. |
|
TRAVEL TIP: Historic preservation has saved many of Lexington’s fine old buildings.
Belle Brezing once worked in a “bawdy house” operating in the building where Mary
Todd Lincoln was raised, that is still located at 578 W. Main St. in Lexington.
