Town House Motel

The Town House Motel is now the Days Inn beside the Bytowne Cinema. In the mid-70s, LOON (Lesbians of Ottawa Now) held regular women's dances here for several years.

Rose Stanton from LOON remembers the dances, at which she DJ'ed, being very popular and successful. The Hotel was happy with the dances until an incident of two women having sex got them booted out from doing the dances in the future. LOON, which operated out of the GO Centre, folds in 1979.
