About Harmonie Club
The Harmonie Club traces its origins to 1849, when it was incorporated and served as the leading German social club in Detroit. The club reputation for offering the best German theatrics and performances. In 1893 the original smaller structure at a different site burned down. A much grander and more opulent building was built in place since the community in Detroit had grown significantly more prominent. An architecture competition, resulted in the selection of the design for the present building, by Richard E. Raseman, which broke ground in 1895 at the new site in the Harmonie Park area.
After years of events, performances, and cultural gatherings, the property sat vacant for several decades until a few years ago. Basco purchased the property in 2021 and put over $12 million in renovations and improvements including a new roof, new windows, all new mechanicals, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, elevators, and completely restored the historical character of the building to its former glory.
