Two retail spaces on the street level and three apartments on the upper level. Main Street Art Gallery occupies one retail space. The other one is vacant .

Upper floor apartments have exterior door and deck. The R.S. Reinhardt Building, which was actually built by Lynn Lawrence’s grandfather, Everett Greeley Pitts was built for a Lenoir businessman, Mr. Reinhardt. The significance of this building is that it was Blowing Rock’s first post office. It was originally a one-story building, built in 1924. It remained the post office until 1944. It was about that time they added a second floor, which provided 10 lodging rooms for the Parkway Hotel. The lodging rooms were upstairs, while the hotel dining room & coffee shop were downstairs, on the first floor. A USGS marker that identifies the official elevation of Blowing Rock as around 3400 feet.
