Southern Furniture Exposition Building. 209 South Main Street.
The Southern Furniture Exposition Building is believed to have been the brainchild of Charles F. Long, the building's first manager. The architect was William P. Rose. When it was completed in 1921, at a cost of one million dollars, the ten-story showplace was High Point's tallest building. Four stories were added in 1940. Annexes to the original structure, constructed in the fashionable Brutalist style, were erected between the late 1940s and the early 1970s. It is still used as showroom space.
