MOFFITT STUDIO

Per GLAPN website: This photography studio, operating from about 1916 until 1935, was run by John Moffitt, one of the men arrested in the 1912 Vice Clique Scandal. He advertised himself, after getting notoriety in the scandal, in city directories as the “Photographer of Men.” This indicates it may have been a place where same-sex couples could be photographed, or even where homoerotic photography could be produced. The Royal Building was demolished in connection with the 1977 construction of Nordstrom and now is part of the site of the Park Avenue West development.
