13927 South Vermont Avenue
Gardena, California
Type: Card Room
Status: Closed
Open: 1940, Close: 1981

One of Gardena's earliest card palaces. Owned by Ernest “Ernie” Primm with several junior partners.

In 1953, Primm built the Rainbow Club next door and the two clubs were connected by a covered walkway, with a bar and restaurant serving both clubs.

Graphic above is a detail from a matchbook posted below. A 1960 photograph of the club lit up at night (Los Angeles Examiner Negatives Collection, USC Digital Library).
