To the left of the Louis G. Deschler Company, the Reinhardt Building is the oldest surviving building along Illinois Street in the Mile Square. It was built by owner-occupant Peter Joseph Reinhardt, a locksmith. Since 1884 it served several different uses until its rehabilitation in 1984-85 for commercial and residential use.

The three-story, brick, Italianate building is three bays wide. The first floor facade is defined by three limestone, classical pilasters and an entablature. Two pilasters frame the entrance. The wooden doors, transoms and display windows are reconstructions from the 1984-85 rehabilitation. The second and third story windows have reconstructed sheet-metal window hoods and 4-over-4, double hung windows; round arches on the second and segmented arches on the third.

Building incorporated into Circle Centre Mall.
