Creek Street, a wooden street on piling high above the creek beginning just past the bridge on Stedman Street, was once a famous red-light district. It is comprised of about 20 restored houses that are now shops and local art studios. This includes Dolly’s House, a former brothel. Dolly’s House has been restored as a small museum offering a look into the life and times of the Legendary Big Dolly Arthur, the best-known madame in Ketchikan. Other colorful characters, Black Mary and Frenchie also plied their trade for over half of century until 1954. There is a small admission fee.
From the Bridge on Creek Street we watched the salmon swimming upstream. It was an incredible site, literally thousands and thousands of silver salmon "waiting" their turn to maneuver up the falls to the place where they would spawn.
