City Garage is believed to have opened around 1915, when motorized cars first made the scene in North Texas. A 1919 newspaper ad lists R.H. Greer as the business proprietor. The first car in Lewisville was owned by Dr. Kirkpatrick, who lived across the intersection and might have brought his car here for servicing.

J.L. Huffines opened the first Huffines auto dealership in 1924 in Denton and moved the business to Lewisville in 1927. First located in the former City Garage at Main and Kealy, the dealership moved to the corner of Main and Mill in 1932 and to Stemmons Freeway in 1959.

Lewisville Feed Mill was opened in 1885 by the Hayes family and later was bought by J.W. Degan and operated as a family-owned business for 124 years. It was the oldest continuously operating business in Lewisville when it closed in 2010. The final operator was James Polser, Degan's great-grandson. The mill started at the livery stable on the corner of Main and Mill streets. It later traded places with the Huffines automobile dealership, moving into the former City Garage immediately east of its original location. The building was purchased from Polser's family by Jim Murray and converted into a restaurant space in 2019. It is operating as Prairie House restaurant in 2024.
