Join us as we uncover the dark history of New Orleans' first vice district, Gallatin Street, a dangerous and lawless area that predated the more well-known Storyville red-light district. Listen as we explore the deplorable living conditions, corruption, and violent crime that defined this notorious street during the 19th century.
• Location of present-day French Market was once the most dangerous area in New Orleans
• Residents lived in squalid conditions, often sharing rooms with livestock and rotting produce
• Corrupt and understaffed police force allowed criminals to operate with impunity
• Prostitution was New Orleans' second most profitable industry with most sex workers dying within four years
• Nearly half a million immigrants entered through the Port of New Orleans between 1841-1860
• Teenage criminals Mary Jane "Bricktop" Jackson and Delia Swift (Bridget Fury) formed America's first all-female street gang
• The Live Oak Gang earned their name from the oak clubs they carried and their meeting place
• By late 1890s, the city established Storyville to contain and regulate prostitution
• Gallatin Street was officially renamed French Marketplace in 1935
• The expansion of the French Market in 1926 erased all physical traces of Gallatin Street's dark past

Speaker 1A Long Island, a Long Island iced tea.
Speaker 2That's the jam right there. So do we have anything to talk about before this episode, because I think it's going to be a long one.
Introducing Gallatin Street
Speaker 2Yeah, I guess we can just jump right in, since it is rather lengthy, yeah, today I'm just going to cover a little dark history of New Orleans in general, but it's more focused on what was called Gallatin Street. So before the legalized area for prostitution, dance halls and saloon in New Orleans known as Storyville was established, which a lot of people kind of know about Storyville now it's been more publicized. There's books written on it, articles, lots of things there was a much darker, sinister area known as Gallatin Street.
Speaker 1Dun, dun, dun Dun dun dun.
Speaker 2If you walk east on Decatur Street today, you'll find yourself at the French Market. On a busy day in the market the air is thick with the delicious smell of freshly brewed coffee, beignets, local food vendors. The sounds of jazz music fill the air as people stroll through the market browsing everything from local crafts to fresh produce. Like they literally have everything there, like you find little trinkets and all kinds of stuff. The market is a melting pot of cultures, with vendors and shoppers from all over Like it's a whole vibe. Back in the early 19th century, however, this area was known as Gallatin Street and was one of the first vice districts in New Orleans. French Quarter is home to some of the most haunted buildings and some of the most aggressive ghosts in all of New Orleans. Gallatin Street at the time was a scene of decay. It was a damp, grimy place lined with dilapidated row houses made of rotting wood and were home to some of the city's most ill-reputed characters.
Speaker 2I guess that's where they get the house of ill-repute for when they talk about a brothel or something tiny, unlit rooms of the houses on Gallatin Street, new Orleans residents and immigrants huddled together in deplorable conditions with no heat in the winter and there were many times forced to stay in single rooms with many people during the heat of the summer and you know how hot it gets here in the summer. It's like horrific, like you walk outside and you immediately are drenched in sweat. So can you imagine like a bunch of people hanging out in a room trying to sleep in this heat, like look louisiana heat I don't know how these people trying to sit in a room let alone get jiggy with it.
Speaker 1I'd be outside all the time like no, I need some breeze Right.
Speaker 2And some fur breeze, probably. So on top of that, them all piled in rooms and a lot of them feared going outside because Galton Street was no joke, it was a bad place. Some of the rooms even held pigs, chickens and rotten produce to feed the animals what I am sure it was like pungent in there.
Speaker 1I mean, it's one thing to have pets inside. It's a whole other situation when your farm is inside, right.
Speaker 2What You're in the room next to the two pigs and the four chickens Hungry, grab an egg.
Speaker 2Grab an egg, but not that one. It's rotten. So, according to a visitor to Gallatin Street in 1873, described the scene to a letter written to the Times-Picayune and I will reference the Times-Picayune a lot because apparently they were writing articles all the time on this place. Quote squalor and misery are sleeping above in chambers so dark and damp as the cold paved stones below. I guess he was there in the winter because it ain't cold at all. No At all. The understaffed and poorly compensated police force was full of corruption and susceptible to bribes and known to exploit vulnerable women. Has that changed you much?
Speaker 1Obviously not.
Speaker 2Well, let's give them the benefit of the doubt.
Speaker 2Maybe it happens a little less often, less less often, less frequent, but it still happens. So most of the police, particularly at night, would not even go into this area, with the corrupt officers outnumbering the honest ones. Gallatin street was ruled by its sex workers, drunks and criminals, and they reveled in their domination. This was the heart of New Orleans' criminal underworld. Here, dangerous criminals, sex workers and street gangs mingled, plotted and carried out their illicit activities. Cheap boarding houses, rowdy dance halls, brothels and filthy saloons, all crammed together, lined the street. Gallatin Street was so lawless and dangerous that venturing out at night meant risking one's life. One visitor recalled about Gallatin Street and the Times-Picayune that it was a place where poverty and vice run races with want and passion. A little scary.
Speaker 1Yeah, I don't want to be there. I'm glad I was never there, yay.
Speaker 2Right Prostitution was known as New Orleans' second most profitable industry back in the day. A study done in 1858 on sex workers stated that once women were in the industry they died within four years and at least 50 percent of them had a venereal disease. Like that, only 50, only 50.
Speaker 1I know I'm like hey, they do them pretty good because most of them died within four years.
Speaker 2So you know, or they just didn't know and they didn't get treated, or was there even treatment back was there, if they didn't know and they didn't get treated. Or was there even treatment back then? Was there? If they didn't die of the disease themselves, then the violent acts committed against them by drunken patrons, angry bar owners, ended up taking them out. New Orleans newspaper at the time of Gallatin streets infamy, had a consistent stream of published ads promoting potions, elixirs and cure-alls for sexually transmitted diseases.
Speaker 2Oh looky there, mehmed Yep. So they were like here we're going to publish this in the paper. Come get your cream for your burning sensation.
Speaker 1Come get your ice cube, yeah your ice cube.
Speaker 2Just put that on there, it'll be fine. Between 1841 and 1860, nearly half a million immigrants entered through the Port of New Orleans. Most of the prostitutes on Gallatin Street were Irish immigrant women who didn't make it very far from the port. Didn't make it very far from the port. The constant influx of sailors and strangers through the Port of New Orleans made Gallatin Street a haven for its notorious residents. Sailors were drawn to its abundant housing, drinking establishment and entertainment of every kind. This also led to the rapid spread of venereal disease among the sex workers and patrons. With the area being so close to the Mississippi River and the dampness from the mud and rain, it was a thriving neighborhood, for mosquitoes, which meant yellow fever ran rampant and many innocent citizens, immigrants and others have perished as a result.
Living Conditions and Lawlessness
Speaker 2Some women were victims of violent crimes on Gallatin Street. Others were violent criminals themselves. So now we're going to get into some of the ladies of Gallatin Street. And they were pretty raw. They didn't put up with anything, especially when it came to men. They didn't put up with anything, especially when it came to men. In the days following Mardi Gras in 1859, john Pfeiffer, a newcomer to New Orleans, experienced a less than fortunate encounter. On March 11th, pfeiffer visited Archie Murphy's Dance Hall, a place of questionable reputation. While accounts differ on whether he initially declined alcohol, he had socialized with several women that night before going into a private room with Lisa Collins, who had noticed a handkerchief tied around his leg and it was full of gold.
Speaker 1Here's my thing. Yeah, I don't know that there's any place around there that isn't of questionable reputation, right?
Speaker 2so I'm pretty sure that whole area, yeah, no matter where you go inside you are in a place of questionable reputation, right there exactly.
Speaker 2Very questionable so he had such a good time that night. He returned the next day, so he began drinking whiskey, conversing with the madam, when the situation deteriorated, according to an article in the Times-Picayune, four women approached him and one of them offered him a drink. As he accepted the drink, the others immediately seized him, forced his mouth open, poured the liquor down his throat they weren't playing, what they were like shotgun this whiskey Attack. So Pfeiffer quickly became incapacitated, either drunk, sick, drugged or all three. He was out of it. He was carried upstairs by the four women to quote unquote, recover. While they helped him undress, one of them untied the handkerchief and stole the gold out of it from around his leg, which totaled to about 110 dollars, which was a lot back then yeah, I was gonna say that's a lot back then.
Speaker 2Now we're like I wouldn't even worth the trouble. So, although the outcome of the incident remains unclear, viper ultimately left gallatin street alive, like he was a lucky man. He shouldn't have went back at all. Now he's broke and and questionable things happened to him, but that's just an everyday occurrence on Gallatin Street, so it was nothing unusual. Women robbing men and picking their pockets all the time. Now hold on to your sweet teeth, because two of the most notorious criminals in Gallatin Street history were Delia Swift, aka Bridget Fury, and Mary Jane Bricktop Jackson. What kind of names, good Lord.
Speaker 1They sound like tough girls.
Speaker 2Like Fury and Bricktop, brick top yeah, I would be scared.
Speaker 1You're gonna have some trouble right there.
Speaker 2Right, their names are trouble, our trouble brick top had come to new orleans with her irish immigrant parents at a very young age. It's not said what happened to her parents, but she led a very rough life without them. I don't know if they passed from yellow fever or what happened, but she grew up on the streets of New Orleans and she learned to fight for everything she had. Sometimes that's just how it is Right. Bridget Fury, on the other hand, escaped to New Orleans from a penitentiary in Ohio where she had been incarcerated for manslaughter for stabbing her husband to death. So keep this in mind while I tell you the next part.
Speaker 2Oh, my goodness OK both girls with street smarts and fiery red hair and around the age of 13. Yeah, I've seen your face just drop 13.
Speaker 113. One of them was married. Oh my gosh. Yeah, I mean, I guess that was common practice back then. Yeah, I'm about to say something really gross. Do you know how many times I've heard and wanted to punch some man in the mouth for saying if she can bleed, she can breathe?
Speaker 2Yeah that's gross. Yeah, so this like brings me back to that same feeling of vomit Great, Fantastic, that made me sick, thanks, but yeah, so they were around the age of 13. They became two of New Orleans' most sinister female serial killers in history. Holy crap, yeah, they would rob, beat or stab anyone who shamed or did them wrong. Sometimes all of the above they had. No, no regerts.
Speaker 1Sounds like it None at all, at all.
Prostitution and Immigrants
Speaker 2They ruled Gallatin Street and had quite the reputation. They were out there like I'm going to get what I want to get, and anybody that shamed them for doing sex work was especially on their radar. They did not hold back. Fury Riptop and several other rough and tumble prostitutes formed the first ever all-female street gang in New Orleans as well as in the United States, so they had an all-women street gang. They were like this is our gang Gang, we're going to get our bag. They were known as the Live Oak Gang, earning their name from the oak clubs that they carried around, as well as their meeting place near the river under the shade of the Live Oak tree. They were some of the worst criminals in and around Gallatin Street and responsible for most of the live oak tree. They were some of the worst criminals in and around Gallatin Street and responsible for most of the violence.
Speaker 1That's crazy, right A gang.
Speaker 2A little preteen, preteen girls, yeah, girls, teen preteen. Yeah, I mean, they're Tweens. There you go.
Speaker 1Something.
Speaker 2Something no tweens is before teen, right, I don't know, anymore, but when I was 13. I still have pretend adults.
Speaker 1I have pretend adults is what I call mine right now, so I don't even know, yeah, but I was just like these little raggedy children, right they're like we're just gonna rob and kill you.
Speaker 2Brick top was a gruff and they they describe her as a gruff and robust woman, but she's literally 13, 14 years old, I guess she, yeah, uh.
Speaker 1Is she just considered a woman because she ain't living at home with mama and daddy? I I guess so.
Speaker 2I don't know. It's said that she could beat up any woman or man in a brawl. She murdered four that we know of men and stabbed and beat many others. One brave man decided that he could call Bricktop a quote-unquote whore and get away with it. The man said to be seven feet tall, named Long Charlie oh my God, long Charlie, seven feet tall, was stabbed with Bricktop's weapon of choice, her trusty knife. A heavy five inch blade on either side with a center grip made of German silver. This custom knife allowed her to stab and slash in any direction without having to adjust the position of her hand.
Speaker 1You know I'm going to say that this probably would have been a great one to video, because my dang face.
Speaker 2I know I keep seeing your face going.
Speaker 1It is so twisty.
Speaker 2That's why I was like I was going to do a story on Storyville and I was like, oh, I found it. I was like, no, I'm going to do this one. Yeah, we might do Storyville later on, because there is some stuff going on in there too. After serving jail time for the Long Charlie stabbing Bricktop, joined forces with a man named John Miller, a former boxer and misfit, who lost his arm in a fight. Is she getting a pimp? I think she is the pimp. Oh, okay, I don't know. She's pretty.
Speaker 1You know rough and tumble, I'm just saying it's like what's she involving this dude? For she fell in love.
Speaker 2So she was like I'm in love with you, let's get into a. She joined forces, but she also, you know, was in a relationship. I see, okay, yeah. So instead of getting an artificial arm, john made a spiked ball and chain outfitted for his stump. Can you imagine these two walking, this robust woman and this guy with a ball and chain on his arm walking down the street turning heads?
Speaker 2Yeah, I'm turning around and running the other direction, get on the other side of the street. But their affection for each other didn't last long when, in 1861, john Miller tried to crack the whip an actual cowhide whip on Bricktop. After a domestic dispute, she apparently turned the whip on him, giving him quite the flogging. In defense, john tried to use his ball and chain on Bricktop Sorry, not funny, but it is she quickly.
Speaker 1Well, you start like seeing this fight inside your head. I know it's a little comical, but also scary. Yeah, this is the most toxic mess ever.
Speaker 2So she quickly used his weapon against him, dragging him across the room. Then he tried to stab her. She bit his hand, used the knife to stab him repeatedly until he was dead oh no, not his good hand, that's his mashed potatoes hand.
Speaker 2Oh my god let me get right up in there. Oh my god, we're stupid, but we're not okay. All the giggles gone. So brick doc was sent off to prison for the murder of John Miller and she was never seen or heard from again. Some say she was released after two years and left New Orleans for good, but nobody really knows. In 1869, the Louisiana Courier, new Orleans Bee and Times-Picayune newspapers printed the name Delia Swift, synonymous with robberies, prostitution and murder. Found guilty of murder without capital punishment, the Louisiana court must have found life on Gallatin Street. Punishment enough, as Delia Swift was released on bail in 1859 for the murder of a man named Patrick Crowan, who had been walking with a group of friends and made a comment about quote women of certain class. Delia, who overheard him while sitting at a coffee stand, jumped up and confronted him. Crowan called her a slut. Sorry for the language. We're trying to keep it clean, but some things just have to come out, you know.
Speaker 1It's okay, I'm already marking this one explicit, yeah.
Speaker 2Delia then fatally stabbed this man because he was talking some shit about her Bricktop and Fury. I about her Bricktop and Fury. I love that Bricktop and Fury.
Speaker 1I mean in another world. They sound like New Avengers Right Bricktop and Fury.
Speaker 2Not here.
Speaker 1Not here.
Speaker 2They prostituted, they stole from new orleanians and its visitors in order to survive the harsh environments of louisiana. These strong women only reacted to the society they found themselves a part of by protecting each other. They wore the marks of a violent, dismal and heartbreaking past they never wanted. On one hand, they did these bad things, but also they probably didn't know better, and this is how they were raised to survive and to look out for themselves.
Speaker 1They were in obviously destitute situations forever.
Speaker 2And they were kids, yeah yeah, kids who were never taught to be any different than were kids.
Speaker 1Yeah, yeah, kids who were never taught to be any different than feral Right.
Speaker 2They were like out on the street being feral. One of them got married at probably 12. Kind of yeah, crazy stuff, but they were badass. By the late 1890s the Live Oak gang was no longer roaming the streets with their clubs looking for a fight. Most of them were in jail or dead. The police were no longer afraid to patrol Gallatin Street at night. In 1897, the city set boundaries of a new area called Storyville. Any dance houses and brothels found outside of Storyville's limits had to move within them. Gallatin Street quickly became a quiet and eerily haunting place that was once robust with vice and crime.
Speaker 1They try to clean it up and contain it to a smaller area.
Speaker 2So they were like we're going to move all this over here and we're going to get away from the riverfront and clean this area up and make it better.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2Okay, we're going to move you down here, but we want it better. We don't want it as rough and crazy and crazy.
Speaker 1We just put you in like a neighborhood jail it's cool, yeah, it's fine.
Speaker 2Lyle Saxton, journalist for the Times-Picayune, painted a bleak picture of Gallatin Street in 1924. He depicted it as a deserted and forgotten, occupied primarily by warehouses and storage facilities of produce merchants. The air, he wrote, was thick, with the stench of the fish market and rotting garbage, while the narrow street itself was strewn with debris. Despite this squalor, saxon noted the presence of a few old houses with tattered signs advertising rooms for rent so gallatin street smelled like bourbon pretty much.
Speaker 2Pretty much the stench from gallatin street moved over to bourbon. Yes, except during taylor, swift and the super bowl, when they cleaned it up and sprayed lemon stuff on it to make it smell better. Yes, but it does not smell no, no, no, no, no it's yuck, yeah.
Speaker 2In 1935, gallatin Street fell prey to a city ordinance which renamed the two-block stretch French Marketplace. Plans fell in place for the expansion of the French Market as we know it today, and dangerous. Gallatin Street was no longer alive with the sounds of brothels and bar rooms. It was now alive with the sounds of fruit wagons and Italian immigrants. In 1926, expansion of the French market, which involved the demolition of over 40 buildings, effectively erased Gallatin Street in its history.
Speaker 2Wow, yeah, so that was like a pretty, you know, pretty harsh place to be. And imagine being an immigrant coming off of a boat. You had to go up miss the mississippi river. You're coming off of a boat, that's the first thing you see. You're already sweating, you're already stank, yeah, you're stanky, you're sweaty, you're fitting right in. And then they're like, hey, I can let you make some money. This is how we're going to do it. And they even had these. They had saloons, but they were literally alleyways with like big barrels of cheap liquor that they would put tobacco in there for color to make it look like whiskey and they would just like add all kinds of stuff in there. It was gross liquor but for a nickel you could fill up your pint from one of the barrels, and whichever one, you want Some alley juice, alley juice, new Orleans gravy, that's what I was going to say so, gallatin Street is like the place where New Orleans gravy originated, originated right there, and I can only imagine the gravy that was created there.
Speaker 1Yeah, mixed with baby gravy Right. Worst episode ever. I'm sorry, I am green and it's not envy, not envy.
Speaker 2I know I kept watching your face and you were going like making these expressions. I'm like, oh, this is a good one, I like it.
Speaker 1That's why I said this would be a lovely one to have video of, because I'm sure my face was worth a thousand words.
Speaker 2Oh, so yeah, and then they moved into Storyville after that and Storyville is a much nicer place. A lot of the women had their own brothels there, so they own the place, they ran the place and people from all over would come to the New Orleans brothels. They had what was called a blue book and it listed everything in there and you could go from one to the other whatever you wanted to do, the saloons and all that but it was a much upper class like area, so it wasn't the dark seedy Gallatin Street brothels.
Speaker 1So it's like what they do. When they moved up, they were like here's some money, let's be prettier Right, get some bathtubs.
Speaker 2Yeah, let's take regular baths, not, you know, once a year.
Speaker 1I don't understand how we moved out of Gallatin Street and like into Storyville and suddenly we're high class Right Sex workers.
Speaker 2Okay, it just, it just happened. They moved uptown, like like George Jefferson, they're moving on up, okay. But my thing is is like when you're playing all this in your head, I'm just thinking women had to wear dresses back then. They had these thick petticoats and dresses on oh my gosh it's hot. I know they didn't take baths between johns yeah that, here we are ill more green, more greenery, more greenery. Can you imagine that probably smelled just as bad as the streets.
Speaker 1I'm probably not going to eat lunch today. This is going to be great for my diet. Right Be fasting today. This is our new diet plan.
Speaker 2If you want to lose some weight, listen to our podcast. Get grossed out. That is not medical advice.
Speaker 1Get grossed out that is not medical advice. No absolutely not.
Speaker 2It's not advice at all, it's satire, satire, yes, and you know, if you visit New Orleans and you want to go on any of the ghost tours or anything like that, they have several that will take you down to the french market where gallatin street was, and they do a whole, you know spiel and they tell you all about it, so they're fun. Yeah, they're really fun and you can.
Speaker 2You know you're standing in the area where all this happens, so it's it's like you're there and then right behind the French market, is the US Mint, so it was from US Mint all the way and the French market is huge, so it was a pretty big area. Yeah, and I feel bad for the people that had to be forced to live in that area because they didn't have anything and you know, room next to pigs and chickens and rotted vegetables, room next to it.
Speaker 1They're rooming with it, like in the same room. We're going to put you in here with porky, like you're not allowed inside the sty. However, that back corner over there all yours. Don't touch my eggs. Don't touch my eggs.
Speaker 2They're expensive. You know, I had a thought last night when people were talking about the price of eggs because of this bird flu. Why isn't the price of chicken gone up?
Speaker 1that. That's a wonderful question. Ponder that, Although I would love to share, since we're making people sick this morning, especially myself. My brother has worked in chicken farms before doing chicken houses and there's literally an illness that a chicken can catch. That's like I guess. I mean they refer to it as melting. They literally look like they're melting off their own bones.
Speaker 2It's disgusting, yeah, and they lose all their feathers and stuff, like it's gross.
Speaker 1My brother said he working in there made him never want to eat chicken ever again. I bet, I bet he's like be grossed out too. I mean, it's what you have to consider when you're eating stuff that was once alive, right? I mean, we're susceptible to so many things, so are they?
Speaker 2indeed yeah, melting chickens. Melting chickens juicy and brothels juicy melting chickens moist melting oh god, the moist word. No, oh my god, so we've triggered you enough.
Speaker 1Oh, happy day.
