Where was this infamous pleasure palace?

BudB, I use to have the address. I think it is off Blanco, North of Loop 410. Sorry, never went there, so can't give you address. I knew some guys that did go there. My service station mechanic use to brag about being one of the customers. Lots of famous locals, including city councilmen. Somewhere I have an old Spanish newspaper that printed many of the names.
My friend Alice is a local book publisher, and the madam contacted her right after the notoriety, about publishing a book, but it never happened.

Thanx Gabby and I for one am sorely disappointed that Madame Theresa never took her memoirs to a printer to scorch a couple hundred pages and several reputations. Fort Worth has an entire book about their notorious Red Light district so we should have one as well and Billy Keilman's little Blue book don't count. "Hell's Half Acre: The Life and Legend of a Red Light District" goes all the way back to when cowboys were drifting into Cowtown from the Chisolm Trail for some sport and San Antonio must have been just as wild maybe wilder. But a modern cathouse also deserves the literary treatment so if anybody knows where Miss Brown's manuscript went, please speak up!

IIRC, it was located in the neighborhood between San Pedro and Blanco, just South of W. Ramsey Rd. It was reported at the time this story broke that Brown owned the houses on both sides of her "brothel", so as not to arouse neighbors' suspicions.

Another long time location has entered into the annals of GBNF in SA.

I believe Teresa Brown's "list" was ordered destroyed by the courts. Have to wonder why and would that fly in today's world

[gy2020]

The list was published. I have a copy around the house somewhere.

Well GY you may have the only list .... I would think copies were made before authorities were involved.

"But the story of former Madam Theresa Brown is worth remembering.
Her infamous local list of clients was said to include prominent public officials. But under court order in 1985, it was destroyed"

As mentioned earlier Northwest Plaza on Fred rd will be history soon, a lot of history of the strip mall once anchored by JC Pennys, HEB, and I think TG&Y.
