Knights of Pythias building

Title

Knights of Pythias building

Description

Black and white image of a two-story building with a produce stand and a barber shop taking up its the lower floor. The upper floor has three windows, one with the number 1909 in the upper clerestory window. The upper roofline of the building features crenellations, giving it the appearance of castle towers. Beneath the central and highest pediment is a logo which reads, 'K of P, F.C., no. 34.' Coca cola advertising dominates the grocery store signage, while two men in barbering shirts watch from the windows of the barber shop next door.
