Biographical Text
-
Two-story white house with wood porch.
The house is located in Sturgis, SD, and in the past served as the residence of Tubbs. It was known for being her place of refuge during the height of her gambling work. The home is now utilized as part of a bed and breakfast, named The Sturgis Motel. It is also referred to as the Poker's Palace, in reference to Tubb's legacy as a poker player.
The house was relocated in the 1980s by owner Ted Walker to become part of the Sturgis Motel, placing it in the lot where the rest of the motel's housing resides.
