About The Venue

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.
