The record — long form

Beatrice Greene is the '47 — the '20 Creek Street' that's the stilts, the 'last working woman' that's the stayed. The '1954' is the closed — the 'crackdown' that's the moved on, the 'Beatrice' that's the went nowhere. The 'trap doors' is the creek — the 'salmon' that's the spawning, the 'bodies' that's the dumped.

The 'playful' is the ghost — the '20 years' that's the residents, the 'lights' that's the flicked. The '30 brothels' is the heyday — the 'both fish and men' that's the spawned, the 'Ketchikan' that's the wet. Beatrice is the marker — the '2004' that's the plaque, the 'cat-and-mouse' that's the police.

The file keeps Beatrice Greene: the 1947 working, the 1954 refusal, the playful ghost, and the creek's dead.

Beatrice Greene House is the archive's Alaska file — the last woman's stay.

Why this file matters

Beatrice Greene House is the archive's Alaska file — the creek's madam.

A house keeps its working — the file's suggestion being that Beatrice's hold is the refused: the '54' that's the closed, the 'ghost' that's the playful, and the 'trap doors' that's the dead.
