1) That’s the house where the Frierdiker Rebbe stayed in his FIRST visit, in 1930. See Toldos Chabad B’Artzos Habris, ch. 16 for some fascinating info about it.
At the second visit, in 1942, the Frierdiker Rebbe stayed at a hotel. See Kuntres Bikur Chicago. Today it is no longer standing.
2) The site of Bnei Reuven is not a parking lot. R. Moshe Shayevitz worked very hard that the Shul should not be sold. After the neighborhood changed, the Shul was vandalized, so it had to be demolished, but the Shul still owns the empty lot.
