The Knights of Pythias Building is a historic three-story redbrick Knights of Pythias located at 315 Main Street in Fort Worth, Texas. Also known as the Knights of Pythias Castle Hall. It was built in 1901 on the site of a 1881 structure, the first ever Pythian Castle Hall built which had burned earlier the same year. The building housed the city's first offset printing press and coin-operated laundry. On April 28, 1970, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The building is also a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark (RTHL). In 1981 it was restored and is now part of the Sundance Square area of downtown Fort Worth. The lead tenant in the building today is Haltom's Jewelers. [1] [2] [3]
