Texas Guinan in Greenwich Village
By 1907, Texas had tucked out to the East Coast to take to the stage. Reginald DeKoven had said he'd give her a job if she ever came to New York, and Tex finagled her way into his current production: The Snowman [a.k.a. The Girls of Holland, which is the new title it used when it arrived on Broadway in November 1907].
Tex had gotten herself a room in a run-down Greenwich Village boarding house at 72 Washington Square South. She paid $2 a week for rent and breakfast.

Texas Guinan
Illustration shows Judson Memorial Church and the buildings east of it around 1900. Situated between Wooster and Thompson Streets in 1907, 72 Washington Square South was a 4-story brick building on a lot size of 23' x 104.8' -- not far from a rooming house known as "The House of Genius" [61 Washington Square South].
