Charlotte's newest elegant social lounge
Heritage Community Harmony
A Social Club Experience reminiscent of the history we reside within and the inclusive community we desire to cultivate.
Who Are We?
Welcome to "Society at 229" a membership based social club centered around the rich history of Brooklyn Charlotte and one of its historic buildings, the Mecklenburg Investment Company (M.I.C.) building. This is not just a club, it's an experience, a journey through time that will take you back to the early 1900s when the third floor of this building housed a social club, called “The Lodge” for leaders within the community to gather. Many meaningful conversations & collaborations for the greater good came out of this building.
Brooklyn Charlotte, a neighborhood located in the heart of Charlotte, North Carolina, was once a bustling community filled with life, culture, and history for African Americans. It was so large it was referred to as a “City within the City”. The M.I.C. was the center of it all, a towering structure that stood as a symbol of progress, innovation, and prosperity. It was a place where people from all walks of life would come together to socialize, to do business, and to celebrate life. The building was a reflection of the vibrant and diverse community that surrounded it.
`
And now, through "Society at 229" we invite you to be a part of a continuation of history. "Society at 229" is connected to the the M.I.C. and exudes the same energy and sense of preservation. This is an opportunity to be a part of something greater, to connect with like-minded individuals who share a passion for heritage, community and harmony. "Society at 229" is also the home of the Grooming Greatness (501c3) a nonprofit organization committed to Grooming Youth, Veterans & Grassroots nonprofits by providing educational resources to enrich and expose them to opportunities that will enhance their future success with a strong focus on connection of the arts to wellbeing.
The founders of this initiative, Kevin and Monique Douglas, look forward to you joining in their vision of establishing a beacon of light with a standard of excellence our city has long been waiting for.
