Men's Club Renovated Into New Home


When David Hurlbut bought The Harmony Club back in 1999, it was home to pigeons and rats.  Ten years later, he has preserved its historic nature and turned it into a habitable space full of character.

The Harmony Club was a men's club built in 1909 overlooking the Alabama River in the town of Selma, AL.  The 20,000 sq. ft. space consisted of two retails spaces and a restaurant in the front and a men's lounge in the back.  The men's lounge had a gaming room, cigar room, lounge areas, and a ball room.  It operated until 1930 and then turned into the Elks Club but finally closed down in the 1960's.  David Hurlbut's industrial design and architectural consultant background helped him see the potential in building back in 1999 and in no time he got to work reviving the space.  His new home space resides on the second floor and the first floor now operates an Arts Revive Show and hopefully a new Italian restaurant soon.
