In 1867, Madam Fan Jones bought the Sky Blue House of Pleasure just outside of Bangor, Maine's red-light district called "The Devil's Half Acre." The Sky Blue House of Pleasure was the most popular and longest running brothel in the city and stood until 1950. Today it is the site of a parking lot for the Federal Building in downtown Bangor, but her story lives on.
