Back in the day they would put a red light in the porchlight to let people know it was a brothel.

actually the term "red light district" came from railroad workers who carried signal lanterns with red filters. When the men visited houses of prostitution, they would leave their lanterns burning on the porch and the red light became associated with the houses.
