| Bar and card room located sandwiched in between the "Nevada Club" and the "State Club" on H Street. It became the "New Eldora Club" around 1953 (see "Became"). Legal gaming was active there until the mid-1960s, when Modesto passed an ordinance making card rooms illegal. The Gaming Table (2017, 5th Ed.) indicates that the club was managed or owned by Walter Barboura and Jesse Hall.
T. R. King sold 2000 of the large crown chips in four colors to El Dora Club, O. O. Caldwell, George L. Webb, 915 H Street, Modesto, California, on 8/13/1952.
