Amazon Club and Rooms - 147-151 K Street

Cross Noble Drive. By 1930, 149 K Street housed the Amazon Club with the Amazon Rooms upstairs. In 1903, 40 percent of Rock Springs businesses were saloons and all were located on the streets you are now walking—eight on South Front, seven on North Front, eight on K Street, and seven on Pilot Butte Avenue. During prohibition, these saloons operated as “coffee bars” or “soft drink parlors.” In the early decades of the 1900’s, nearly all of the saloons had “sleeping” quarters upstairs. Few of these rooms were intended for use as lodgings by tourists.
