50 YEARS AGO in Elko Daily Free Press
May 4, 1972: Lido Puccinelli and Harry Lipparelli, who operated the Club 449er for 26 years, recently closed the doors of the popular downtown Elko bar. The two natives of Elko formed a partnership to operate the 449er in 1946 after they returned here from U.S. Army service in World War II. They purchased the property formerly operated as Henry’s Café and Drake’s Grill from Mr. and Mrs. Louis Wintermantel. Puccinelli, operated the Club Elko here prior to entering the military service in 1942, At that time he sold the club to Bill Rahas. Lipparelli operated the Elko Newsstand from 1935 until 1944, when he entered the army and sold his business to Mr. and Mrs. Mel Lundberg.

40° 49.996′ N, 115° 45.615′ W. There is a Marker is in Elko, Nevada, in Elko County. It is at the intersection of Commercial Street and 7th Street, on the right when traveling south on Commercial Street. Located in Elko Railroad Park. It marks the entertainment district. I don't know if that's why the 449er Club? I always thought it had something to do with the gold rush.
