Located steps from Central Park, Lincoln Center, and The Hudson River Greenway, The Pythian is a full-service condominium with a rich history. Designed by Thomas W. Lamb and built in 1927, it was occupied by The Knights of Pythias until the 1940s when it became the headquarters for Decca Records. Buddy Holly, Sammy Davis Jr, and Billie Holiday are some of the great names who recorded their hits here for the next 15 years. Following its use as The New York Institute of Technology's main campus in the 1950s and 1960s, the building was converted into condominiums in 1986 after an award-winning redesign by renowned architect David Gura.
