There are rumors of Dorothy’s life — how she kept a cigar box full of uncashed checks from male customers, how she donated copious amounts of cash to churches and law enforcement organizations, how she would buy rounds of drinks at nearby bars to gain favor with potential customers, how she took on the name Baker after watching an Eddy’s Bakery truck drive by.

There are also a few tangible items left from Dorothy’s life — the Montana Historical Society has a couple of her boudoir dolls and items of clothing once worn by the women who worked for her. There’s the yearbook and a copy of her mug shot, also kept tucked away in the files at the Historical Society. But most of her possessions were auctioned off after her death. And the building that housed Dorothy’s Rooms is now the Windbag Saloon and Grill (still known to some as Big Dorothy’s) and the Ghost Art Gallery.

But upstairs from the gallery and the grill, where Dave Kettman operates the framing part of the gallery business, is something that belonged to Dorothy that remains unchanged and untouched by the stories that swirl around her.

Big Dorothy’s bathroom is just the way it was when she was escorted out of her home on April 17, 1973.
