A century-old club exclusively for men, the old house is renovated and reborn

Since the release of The Twilight Saga, it must have created many boys and girls’ beautiful fantasies about the world of vampires. Since I had watched “Interview with the Vampire” a long time ago, I also stepped into this world of history. In the vampire craze, what we are watching is not the romantic complex, but the bloodthirsty, violent tearing, and sex scenes that are not avoided. HBOs self-made series: Bloodthirsty True Love "True Blood", or the recent The original vampires "The Originals" in the second season are included in the fave folder.

However, perhaps because of the unique exoticism and colonial culture of small towns in the American South, most of these series and movies are based in the southern states of Louisiana and Virginia. In these places, the terrain has the openness and width of the bay, and the carnival atmosphere contrasts with the silent swamp wasteland. The culture is mixed with French romance, Indian wildness, Mexican enthusiasm, and African I think even native-born Americans living in these places would be hard-pressed to be infected by such a fascinating and special atmosphere!

What we are going to take a look at today is The Harmony Club, also located in Alabama, in the southeastern United States. After being abandoned for forty years, designer David Hurlbut started to transform it into A warm haven. But in fact, when it was first established in the early 19th century, it was a mens club with a barber shop, bar, game room and dance hall. It had a huge indoor space of more than 500 square meters, overlooking the Alabama River. Whenever night falls, it is the exclusive private area of ????men, and women are of course prohibited from entering.

After 90 years of changes and transfers, the designer accidentally bought this historic medieval house on the Internet. He spent US$150,000 on repairs by himself, most of which were done by DIY, so that he could preserve this house. The ruins, which he nicknamed the "pigeon coop and rat motel", retained the mottled paint chips on the walls, unfinished wall decorations, and old stone-washed tiles.

When the owner is at home, he may notice the obvious yellow spots on the wall, the disconnected partition furnishings, and the occasional embroidery stains and gray-black original paint seen in the joints of the wall tiles. A glimpse into the glorious era of the club at that time. Every laughter and every mirth that filled the air during the cups and cups was left as a symbol of ambition for future generations.
