324. Armory, c 1905

Description:	The Knights of Pythias Armory housed not only an assembly hall with stage and meeting rooms, but also a rattan and wicker factory in the rear half of the building. The hall was rented out for local theatrical events. The main (front) building is three stories tall with a small solarium type structure on the roof. It is seven windows wide and 6 windows deep. The Armory has two double sided entrances on the left and right. In the middle are three double-sided doors. A one story structure juts out at the rear of the building and most likely was the cite of the wicker furniture business that shared the address. On the right side of the Armory a two story home stands next to the much taller structure. Beyond the house is what appears to be a barn.
