Washington — designs the building as a temple for the fraternal order of the Knights of Pythias. 1939 – Operations as a cultural and social center cease, it continues use as a meeting space for the Knights of Pythias. 1946 - Due to financial difficulties, the Knights of Pythias are forced to sell the temple to Ben Ackerman. Its use under his ownership is unclear. 1956 – Ackerman is forced to sell for $100,000 as a settlement in a lawsuit. Unclear who the buyer is, or its intended use. 1959 - The Pittman is sold to Union Bankers Insurance, which serves the neighborhood for 30-plus years. 1980’s – Union Bankers covers the original lettering for the Knights of Pythias, and local preservationists secured an injunction to force Union Bankers to uncover the old name displayed on the facade. 1989 - The city designates the site as a Dallas Landmark. 1990s - Union Bankers abandoned the site, and it goes unoccupied. 2017 - A consortium of developers announced a plan to redevelop the block, including a restoration of the red brick cladding of the Knights of Pythias Temple. 2021 – The Pittman, a hotel operated under the Kimpton brands, opens in the newly renovated space and is considered the first luxury hotel in Deep Ellum.
