Alice's House

For discreet encounters, there's no better place than Alice's House. Set well away from the Field of Honor and its related commercial centers, the House is a luxuriously appointed residence that serves to provide privacy for those looking to conduct extraneous relationships away from the prying eyes found in the rest of the city.
  While Alice's house is known mostly as a place friendly to the higher class prositiutes that work the Eastern District, it is also commonly used as a safe place for women to get away from abusinve relationships. Rondella has helped more than one young lady, or even a couple get away from a parner or family that has a dtrong hols over them.

Purpose / Function

Alice's Place provides a place of safety and anonymity for amorous meetings. It give couple a place to meet out of the open spaces where they may have trouble staying discreet. The ownership is very aware of crossing the line into being used for criminal purposes and does its best to limit its use in that capacity. They are very good at determining whether a person may be brought to the house against their will and take steps to deal with that situation.

Architecture

The building was once a mansion, built in the marble-heavy style often found in Verdantor. It had been allowed to decay for a while, but was still more or less intact when Alice took it over. She rebuilt it, steadily reinvesting in improving the decoration with an assortment of imported art and fabrics. It is now perhaps the best furnished building in the Eastern District.

History

The House has been around for years, and has developed a notorious reputation in many of the wealthier portions of the city. It was founded by a former Scurvytown madam, who had carefully saved up enough money to move to the Eastern District into a somewhat run-down old mansion. She steadily improved the building, while carefully maintaining an iron reputation for discretion. This eventually made it a common destination for younger couples from the Merchant District looking for some privacy away from the constant surveillance of their parents.
