There haven't been many references to the Terrace Club that I have seen. We do know it was located in Sandusky, Ohio and operated in the late 1940's. The joint was run by various Cleveland Syndicate guys including Frank Brancato, a made guy who previously ran the Jungle Inn outside of Youngstown, Ohio.

See below.

FRANK BRANCATO

[ (19??-1973) Frank "Little Frank" Brancato oiginally started out in NYC as a longshoreman on the Brooklyn docks. By 1932 it was clear that he was an upcoming wiseguy in Cleveland, when he found himself in a Doctor's office to remove a bullet, and it was found to match one of the guns used by mob bosses Raymon and Rosario Porrello while they were being murdered. When question about the incident, he refused to speak and was jailed for contempt. After a few years being incarcerated he was released. It is believed that this is when he became a "made" member of the Cleveland LCN Family. By the early 1940s, Brancato and future boss Jack Lacovelli owned a brothel and later a casino called "The Jungle Inn". Their operation, which was based in Youngstown, OH, was shut down in 1949. Throughout the 1950s Brancato would continue to derive most of his earnings from illegal gambling and loansharking.By the mid 1960s Brancato was attempting to control the garbage hauling in Cleveland. He ran into problems and needed muscle for his operations.He sought out Irish racketeer Danny Greene. The Irish gangster would causea major war within Cleveland LCN Family during the mid 1970s which pretty much ended the family's power. Brancato would always be blamed for his "mistake" in introducing Greene to the Cleveland rackets. Brancato died in 1973 from natural causes. A 1988 Senate Hearing produced evidence that showed Branca to was the underboss for then boss John Scalish until his death. It is unknown when he actually began serving as the number two man under Scalish.
