Built
to be The Foley Progressive Club, the clubs membership consisted
of a "group of men, the founders of Foley -- Mr. Foley was
from Chicago -- who thought the town needed a place to hold
concerts, dance, and cultural events."

Foley's only landmark
restaurant offers the most unique dining experience.
The restaurant is located in a building that was built in
1912. This grand old building with its beaded pine
walls and ceilings is open for the enjoyment and merriment
of people from all over who enjoy dining in complete
luxury, yet a casual atmosphere. The building has
retained its 1912 charm. When
it opened, 400 people attended the first dance. The abstract reads
"many came from as far away as Bay Minette". In 1937 the
building was sold to the American Legion, Post 99, and was used during
World War II as the USO Club. It has housed several hardware
stores. During the 1950's the building was a skating
rink. The building holds many memories for Baldwin County
residents, like the local man who met his wife there in 1937.
