The Pythian's original designer and renovation architect

Designed by Thomas Lamb back in 1926, this classic building was converted to condominium in 1983 and contains about 84 apartments some of which have been combined.

The architect on the conversion and restoration was David Gura, who had multiple windows installed in the originally mostly windowless building. As per David, the building was originally meant to be a lodge of the Knights and Phthias and as a result housed many windowless lodge halls.
