Neat old Reno photo

This is the first shot I've seen of the Rex Club and the Wine House Club, which operated in the 1930s in downtown Reno. The Wine House was one of the first clubs to be licensed for gaming after it became legal in Nevada in 1931. The Rex was licensed for craps and blackjack, but I don't recall seeing any chips from there. This picture was taken near where Harolds Club later operated.
