What was known as the Pythian Castle, Crisfield's old two-story Knights of Pythias lodge, is noted with a red arrow in a 1917 Sanborn Fire Insurance map. On Sunday night, Oct. 2, 1921 an oil stove exploded in a dwelling next door owned by Edward F. Evans and with a westerly wind the fire spread to the factory and also destroyed a neighbor's home owned by William V. Guy.
