5 Main

A internationally-known brothel located in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. Soldiers from the area went to Europe to fight in World War One and regaled Europeans with tales of “the Red House of Kirkland Lake” or “5 Main Street” which was in fact a popular brothel well-known across the north. Supposedly the tales were so tall or so enthralling that other soldiers and even Europeans have actually come back to the area to visit Kirkland Lake’s now disfunct red whorehouse.

Let me tell you about a little red house called 5 Main.
