The Harmony Club was built in 1909 as a Jewish social club by Selma’s early Jewish organization of the same name. The club featured a restaurant, men’s lounge and huge ballroom. While the first floor was rented to retail businesses, the second floor featured the restaurant and lounge. The lounge, where members played pool, poker and slot machines, was off limits to their wives, but everyone was welcome on the third floor where many dances and parties were held in the ballroom. The Elks Club occupied the building from the 1930s until 1960. The three-story building will be restored to highlight the cast iron and stone accents of its façade, while the interior of the structures will be repurposed into a boutique hotel serving visitors and tourists of downtown Selma. The building’s ground floor will house a restaurant / bar for hotel patrons and Selma residents alike, while the upper 2nd and 3rd floors will add additional hotel rooms and event space to downtown Selma.
