Pythian Building

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on January 21, 1982 (NRIS #82003703).

The application lists its architecture as a mix of the Art Deco styles: Modern and Zig Zag.

[1] It is also listed as a contributing property on the NRHP Application for the Oil Capital Historic District (NRIS #10001013).

The facade is divided by thin vertical piers that run from its base to the top of the parapet, and are decorated with back-to-back diamond patterns (zig-zags), a theme throughout the building.

[2] Eight tall slender chandeliers, each with four etched glass panels which terminate in a triangle design top and bottom, also are installed in the ceiling to provide additional light.

[2] In 2012, then-owner Kanbar Properties, a California investment firm, put the building up for sale at a sealed bid auction.

The article suggests that since 2012, Price had bought full ownership of the 18 properties Kanbar once owned in the city.
