Drag Ball in Webster Hall--1920s
Webster Hall, located in Greenwich Village, hosted several Drag Balls during the 1920s. The events were wildly successful and it was one of the few times when transvestites were allowed to openly dress in drag. The events continued until the Great Depression. Webster Hall is currently a dance club and concert venue but caters to a mostly heterosexual clientèle.
