    Ran a brothel, eh? Guess the trumps have never strayed too far from the idea of paying for sex.

    Trump worked as a barber and manager of a restaurant-hotel and was beginning to acquire real estate in Queens when he died in the 1918 flu pandemic.

    restaurant-hotel

    Well, a sort of hotel.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump

    Located at 208 Washington Street, the Dairy Restaurant was in the middle of Seattle's Pioneer Square; Washington Street was nicknamed "the Line" and included an assortment of saloons, casinos, and brothels. Biographer Gwenda Blair called it "a hotbed of sex, booze, and money, was the indisputable center of the action in Seattle."[6]: 41  The restaurant served food and liquor and was advertised to include "Rooms for Ladies", a common euphemism for prostitution.[6]: 

    Despite the placer's claim providing Trump no right to build any structure on the land, he quickly bought lumber to build a new boarding house and operate it similarly to the Dairy Restaurant.

    In May 1898, Trump and Levin moved to Bennett, British Columbia,[17] a town known for prospectors building boats in order to travel to Dawson. In Bennett, Trump and Levin opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which offered fine dining, lodging and sex in a sea of tents.
