Pythian Castle, Historic landmark building in Toledo, United States
The Pythian Castle stands at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Ontario Street, featuring a 122-foot turret and Romanesque architectural elements.
Built in 1890 by the Knights of Pythias fraternal organization, the castle received National Register of Historic Places designation in 1972 for its architectural merit.
The structure initially served as a central meeting point for twelve Toledo lodges, bringing together members who previously gathered at various locations across the city.
The 30,000-square-foot building underwent renovation efforts starting in 2017, following the Lucas County Land Bank's acquisition and subsequent sale to developer David Ball.
During the 1960s, the building transformed into a music center, housing both Bleckner Music Company and Fisher Music, which specialized in instruments and repairs.
