Pythian Building

Middletown, CT  2017

I was attracted to the black and green marble facade on this building.  First built around 1874 the building served as a hotel until purchased in 1905 by the Pythian Company.  The building then housed retail space on the first floor, offices on the second, and had meeting hall on the third floor for the Knights of Pythias.  The building was remodeled in 1938, adding the marble facade and large windows.  It's nice to see these older buildings getting good use today.
