Knights of Pythias building

Title

Knights of Pythias building

Description

Black and white image of half a dozen people, four men and two women, standing beside a roadster-style automobile parked next to a curb on a dirt street. Two square-fronted buildings stand directly behind them; the second-story of the first building has a recessed marker indicating it is the Knights of Pythias building set in the center above a window. Both buildings appear to be stores on their first floors, with display windows and recessed entries filling the front. There appears to be a gas pump sitting on the sidewalk down the street. The men wear loose pants and shirts; the two women have dresses with skirts that e just below the knee and short curly hair. A third building down the street both appears to be older, two story with a false-square front, but also appears to be abandoned, with brush grown up along the front and an uneven porch roof.
