Opium Parlor Run by Mrs Chisom in Philadelphia
A Philadelphia opium parlor on Mount Vernon Street operated by Mrs. Chisom, reportedly the city’s only such establishment. The owner, once married to a Southern planter, recounts a decade of addiction, her rise from New York parlor to a fashionable, women-only venue, and how wealthy patrons and actresses frequented the rooms upstairs while men were excluded.
