Lucie Delicanto Bisanti of 847 Stuart in Outremont was a 38-year-old veteran of the local prostitution business by 1944 and whose court hearing has been immortalized in a YouTube video re-enactment made by the local history museum.
She says that at the brothel, hookers would wear bathing suits whereas the women who organized the brothel would wear white aprons and often be quite fat.
The brothel on St. Lawrence was more upscale than the one on de Bullion, the woman explains.
We know that in 1950 there were two brothels on De Bullion between Dorch and St. Cat (one on each side), another one block east at 1244 Berger and another one just a stone's throw away on Charlotte Lane. They would be shut down but simply reopen at another place, with the knowledge of the police. One hooker said that she was arrested 85 times.
And here's another re-enactment.
