Knights of Pythias, Dunbar, PA
On May 1, 1891, the Knights of Pythias #410, purchased the building known as the Junior's Hall from Doctor Clark for $6245.00. In 1919 it was sold to the J.O.U.A.M. for $2200.00. They invested $$33800.00 in improvements. OK, that's all the information I can find to date, sorry it's so arbitrary and boring! Who's JOUAM, anyways?
Dunbar is a small town in Southwest Pa with a wealth of architecture that remains mostly unappreciated.
That dark green trim that fades to a light yellow-green was very popular a century ago. Many of the old buildings in the Pittsburgh area still had that combination of green trim with red brick in the mid century, when I was little. Recently I saw a mention of the color combination used in a Post Modern application as an identifier for regionalism in new Pittsburgh architecture.
This is on the corner of E Railroad and Justice Streets.
