Historical records and other kind of written evidence show the transition and elimination of independent madam brothels for the expansion of men owning and operating in the local red-light district, an example, the case of Tom Savage, son of Irish immigrants, who moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 1887 and worked his way up in the red-light district industry. Tom Savage's business' strategies shows the integration of saloon and brothel businesses by implementing leasing houses near the bar.

Catherine Holder Spude’s archeological excavation/ data collection explains the archeological typography of the often segregation of gender tasks in saloons and brothels. Based on artifacts and tools often used for the labor field inside the business, female attire, hairpins, jewelry,  cosmetic containers, and others, were often found in the rooms that were leased for the use of brothels. There were also found tools in the saloons including pocketknives, collar stays, razors, suspender buckles, and buttons, emphasizing the role of males inside the saloons.

Pharmaceutical and medical items were more often used in the brothels than in saloons, part of the artifacts analyzed by Spude shows common medical remedies used in brothels for pain relief, like Lydia  Pinkham’s vegetable compound, with a 20.6% of alcohol, or Mrs. Winslow’s soothing syrup, containing morphia.
