The University Club is a remarkable testament to our history, a Greek Revival style home built in 1834 by James H. Dearing. After changing hands through a series of owners, and even playing host to Governor Arthur Pendleton Bagby as the Governor's Mansion, this prestigious establishment found its true calling under the stewardship of The University of Alabama.In 1946, the then university president, Raymond Paty, with the generous assistance of Mr. and Mrs. H.D. Warner, acquired the home with a vision of creating a unique social hub for university faculty and staff. And so, the University Club was born, marking a new era of refined sociability and camaraderie in our esteemed university community.Today, the University Club serves as a private dining and special events facility that extends its warm Southern hospitality not only to the university community but also to the broader Tuscaloosa area. It stands as a proud symbol of our rich history and collective memory.We're excited to announce that we are currently undertaking a substantial renovation of this grand old establishment. Our mission is to preserve its historical significance while enhancing its features to meet the expectations of today's discerning clientele.As we meticulously restore and reinvent, we are mindful of our responsibility to retain the original character and charm that has made the University Club what it is today. We are introducing a blend of tradition and innovation to provide a refreshed and elevated experience for our Members and guests.As 2024 unfolds, we look forward to unveiling a rejuvenated University Club, promising a seamless blend of its illustrious past with contemporary luxuries. Stay tuned for this grand reveal of a cherished institution, destined to create a new chapter in Alabama's social scene.
