I'm the blogger and researcher referred to in earlier posts in this topic. I did some more research today in Ancestry.com and I thought I posted, but I see it's not here. Rats. I don't have time to do the research again so I'll try to summarize. An Allright Auto Park was at 1005-1007 Texas in both the 1940 and 1942 criss-cross directories, so it would not surprise me if that address is a parking garage today. I misspoke on the Interurban Buffet listing in the 1942 city directory. It was actually a listing for Ada Gibbs that noted she was the widow of Hugh Gibbs of the Interurban Buffet. Instead, an American Grill restaurant was at 810 Fannin in 1942. So, if Gibbs' brother took it over, it looks like he changed the name. I don't think the Bond Department Store building was constructed in 1940; I think it was earlier than that. Prior to 1940, the business I am finding at 811-813 Main was Rolle-Jewett & Beck men's wear, as early as September 1929 (per an ad in the Rice Thresher). 811 and 1/2 Main is listed in the 1936 directory as the Rolle-Jewett & Beck building, with office space (most vacant) on the 2nd & 3rd floors. By May 1940 they had moved to Main at McKInney (per another Rice Thresher ad) and it looks like Bond's took over their old building. This would make sense since the Interurban Buffet was on the back (Fannin Street) side of the building in 1937. Interestingly, in the same 1936 directory listed above, there was a Bond Mtge (mortgage?) company at 811-813 Main along with Rolle-Jewett and Beck men's furnishings.
