Something bad happened. Maybe. We never found out.

East end of Allen Street, at Sixth Street. This was known as "the wickedest nightspot between New Orleans and San Francisco" during its heydey in the 1880s. The theater was named for 14 bird cages suspended from the ceiling and used by prostitutes to ply their trade, as "A Bird in a Gilded Cage." It still bears 140 bullet holes from 16 gunfights.
