PYTHIAN CASTLE HISTORY
Pythian Castle - 20 N. Court Street
"Benjamin Evard Kepner, an architect responsible for many early 20th-century buildings in Frederick, designed the Pythian Castle in 1912 for a local fraternal organization. The horizontal banding and castle-like elements of this façade incorporates the Gothic Revival and Beaux Art styles. With a balanced presence, it dominates the narrow North Court Street without overcrowding it. While exploring the city, pay attention to themes and motifs such as the castle-like detailing and colored brick seen here; these stylish elements appear on other buildings in the historic downtown."
