Ben Carp raised that possibility with me as he worked on his Tea Party history, Defiance of the Patriots. Neither of us could identify a contemporaneous mention of the Long Room Club, or a club meeting above Edes & Gill’s printing office. (There was a room up there, but it wasn’t necessarily long.)

S. A. Drake is the earliest mention I’ve found of the Long Room Club, but if there’s an earlier source—especially one from the pre-Revolutionary period or within reasonable reach from it—I’d love to know about it.
