404 South Main - The Morrow Building and City Drug The Morrow Building at 404 South Main Street, was completed in 1900 and served as a bank until 1933. Next door, at 406 South Main is City Drug. The first business in the building was Olympia Confectionery. The original drug store, soda fountain and candy store was owned by C.S. Rainwater. Silent films were also shown here by 1911. When C.E. "Pie" Stewart later bought it, teenagers met there for ice cream and cokes. During the Depression, Clifford Jenkins Wall sold nickel milkshakes here. In 1940 it became the City Drug Store.
412 South Main - The J.T. Lucas Building The first floor housed a grocery and dry goods store; the second story was added as a funeral parlor in about 1910. Since May, 2006, the building has been home to the Blue Moon Gallery.
418 South Main - Tate Hardware Home to both grocery and hardware stores since its construction in the early 1900's, this building also features the cast iron imprint seen on the grocery store next door as well as a symmetrical front facade with two tall storefronts.
420 South Main - Koonce Brothers/Buckner Grocery This imposing building features cast iron columns with fluting and floral capitals and cast iron threshold still bearing the name of the first tenant, Koonce Bros. Grocery. Bricks used in its construction were made at a local kiln owned by Jake Waymire.
422 - 426 South Main - Post Office Built in the early part of the 20th century, this building was for many years the location of the Grapevine Post Office and Austin Drugstore.
430 South Main - City Florist
432 South Main - Willhoite Garage and Service Station In 1921 A.W. Willhoite & Bart Starr, Jr. opened the first one-stop auto service here in a converted two-story retail building constructed in 1913. Fifteen years later, Willhoite installed the town's first electric gas pumps and hydraulic autolift. Closed in 1976 after more than 50 years of operation by the same family, the restaurant located here at 432 South Main still bears the Willhoite name.
