🏛️ Pythian Pride in New York City!
Did you know the Knights of Pythias once owned a major landmark in Manhattan? The Pythian Building, built in 1926 at 135 West 70th Street, served as the New York City headquarters of the Order during the golden age of fraternalism.

Designed by architect Charles W. Buckham, the building stood as a symbol of fellowship, charity, and civic leadership. While the structure is now residential, its exterior still tells the story of a time when fraternal organizations helped shape America’s cities and communities.
