Step into a magic world where old marries the 21st century
Far from the ordinary . . .Handsome ca. 1871 inspiring architecture. This striking building began life as a meeting hall for the Knights of Pythias in what was then the town center of Rock Hall. President Lincoln inspired Congress to adopt the organization’s charter - the first ever chartered by an Act of Congress. Meetings took place in the grand hall on the second floor which now houses a flourishing sail maker. The first floor remained a General Store until the 1960’s. Most of the original features remain. The narrow oak beaded board paneling on walls and ceilings harken from the Victorian period. An impressive curved oak stairway with massive newel post carry one to the era of secret meetings of the Pythian Hall. Much of the first floor remains, only altered to house comfortable quarters for the highly creative owners. One is drawn to the sophisticated & imaginative design adaptations which is a combination of “country” and the 21st century luxuries such as a sauna and central air conditioning. The gardens, thoughtfully & carefully executed, complete this exceptional property. One can “feel” the unique lifestyle.
Adaptive Uses
The building is currently designed with owners quarters on first floor and business on second floor. However, with very few changes, the building could be adapted to a full residence. The Grand Hall could be a spectacular living/dining room and the Design/Cutting room would make a luxurious kitchen or master bedroom suite.
