Designed by Henry Wolters. Two African American Knights of Pythias lodges are listed in the 1893 Louisville City Directory. The Temple at 928-932 West Chestnut Street, built in 1914-1915 at a cost of $130,000, served as the Knights' headquarters and housed a drugstore, movie theater, offices, a restaurant, and hotel rooms for men. The ballroom on the sixth floor and the garden on the roof were used for parties and dances. In 1925, 25,000 attendees came to Louisville for the National Pythian Convention. In 1953, the building was sold to the Chestnut Street YMCA. This is still a YMCA today. 001527243 542__ $$fhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-NC/1.0/ 001527243 6531_ $$aRegional Buildings 001527243 6531_ $$aRegional Organizations 001527243 6531_ $$aBuildings and Structures 001527243 6531_ $$aClubs and Organizations 001527243 6531_ $$aPhotographs 001527243 6531_ $$aRelated Materials -- 1901-1950 001527243 6531_ $$aSpecial Collections 001527243 655__ $$aBlack and White Slide 001527243 691__ $$aKentucky 001527243 7001_ $$aUnknown 001527243 8564_ $$96affb866-c261-40a2-8de7-a362562d19dd$$s1158514$$uhttps://library.usi.edu/record/1527243/files/6912.jpg 001527243 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1527243$$pGLOBAL_SET 001527243 914__ $$ap17218coll2 001527243 980__ $$aSpecial & Regional History Collection 001527243 984__ $$aEvansville Courthouse Collection 001527243 985__ $$aImage
