| الملخص: | The Pythian Temple, standing at the corner of Loyola Avenue and Gravier Street, Under Construction. The first African-American-owned high rise building in New Orleans, the historic property is two conjoined buildings originally constructed in 1908 under the direction of S.W. Green, a prominent businessman and leader of the Grand Lodge Colored Knights of Pythias, a black fraternal organization. It housed the Louisiana Weekly, the Negro Board of Trade, Green's Liberty Independent Life Insurance company, a bank, a theater and a rooftop garden where jazz legends like Louis Armstrong performed. The Krewe of Zulu called the building home when it first got organized. |
