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.
