• Notes

  The Bridgeport Casino was an entertainment business, opened in 1903 by the Breithaupt family It probably was never used for any kind of gambling instead used for social gatherings (dances, picnics, receptions, etc.).  In the 1930's for a time it was home to the Bridgeport Slipper Company. By 1944 it was used again for entertainment and again named the Bridgeport Casino up until 1975 when it became Golf's Steak House & Seafood.
