In addition to the downstairs area, what's waiting on the second floor of The Peerless Saloon has just as much history, if not more. It's the Atlanta Room. From 1899 to 1927, this room was home to an infamous brothel. In the early 1900s, it's believed Lucinda Talley, the queen of the brothel, was waiting at the top of the stairs for her gentlemen to arrive. During this time, a policeman chased a saloon patron upstairs. Unfortunately, Ms. Talley was accidentally shot and killed. Her spirit is believed to be haunting The Peerless Saloon today.
