same location as other Card Rooms that date back to the 1850's, from what I've read. But it's changed names, owners and was even closed for a variety of reasons. It's the same for the Oaks Club, as it's now called. I think "continuous operation" is the key to the claim I made.

I don't think any of the current owners of these 3 old Card Rooms really care who's been around the longest; but the stories from each town's "local" newspaper try hard to make a point for each one being the oldest. And since I'm from San Bruno, please forgive me if I favor AJ's.
