"Mother Urban" conducted activities on "The Row." The Madam, undaunted by 200 pounds and a wooden leg, paid her fines at monthly raids, contributed to charity, and didn't mingle socially. Parkites realized that her profession kept the bachelor miners from skipping town on payday sprees to the big city and made Park City streets safe for any "respectable lady" day or night. ![]() One mayor decided to close the District, however. Mother Urban was incensed; not only would she lose her trade, but the mines would suffer from their employees staying down in Salt Lake City three or four days every month. She decided to appeal to one of the company superintendents -- a bachelor. Within a few days, he used his influence with the City Council and twenty-five "seamstresses" were ensconced in the little row of houses, which used to line what is now Deer Valley Drive. Some text from "Diggings and Doings in Park City", Third Edition, by Raye Ringholtz, et al.
