Noted architect James Wahrenberger designed the Reuter Building with its distinctive red and buff brick. The four-story building opened in 1891 with Reuter's Saloon on the first floor, offices on the second and third floors, and the Knights of Pythias Lodge on the fourth floor ("The Reuter Building").
