EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the construction progress of the proposed $1,200,000,000 International Temple of the Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, and the District of Columbia. The temple, located at the intersection of State Street and 37th Place in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America, during the 1920s, was a significant architectural achievement of the era. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, showcases the grandeur of the building's facade, with its intricate details and imposing presence. The street scene surrounding the temple is bustling with activity, as people go about their daily lives. A streetcar passes by, adding to the sense of movement and energy in the scene. The Knights of Pythias, a fraternal organization founded in the United States in 1864, aimed to promote friendship, charity, and truth among its members. This international temple was a testament to the organization's growth and influence, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds and continents. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the past and shedding light on the social and cultural landscape of the 1920s. It is now part of the Jean Blackwell Hutson Division of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, part of the New York Public Library. The image is a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the Knights of Pythias and the role they played in shaping the 20th century.
