The Harmony Club downtown on Water Avenue was built in 1909 as a Jewish social center. It originally contained first-floor businesses, a second-floor restaurant and lounge and third-floor ballroom. Later, it served the Elks Club, then closed in 1960 until it was purchased in 1999 for a private residence. It has been under restoration since then and was featured on HGTV. ArtsRevive, a local arts group, uses the first floor for exhibits.
I like your picture but the description reminds me to say that the owners probably ran out of money and now, enthusiasm for remodeling.

Somebody's got a lot of money sunk into that place if they've been renovating it for 8 years. I love to see old building like this find new life.
