I still recognize their buildings, even after repurposing.

Sucks to be in an area that never had these to begin with, cuz I've never seen one. I like weird “obsolete” architecture like this, but businesses typically don't bother adapting buildings the way they used to anymore. Only new buildings get any personalization, and it tends to be minimal these days. Like a Mexican restaurant bought a building that used to be a supper club*, and they didn't even bother to re-paint the interior, so it just looks like a lightly mexican-themed supper club now. Just no effort at all anymore.

*For those not in areas with proper supper clubs, which is the vast majority of the world since they are almost exclusively found in the Midwest US (the UK version of them is something entirely different, and I've no idea how common they are), they are cozy little dinner spots where you are more or less expected to sit and have a few drinks and socialize before your meal, such that they don't really have music, take your order at the bar, and you move to the table when your meal is ready. Typically the best food around without breaking the bank, especially in small towns, most have a salad bar, decent community environment, reasonable prices sort of thing, so very very popular. In Wisconsin at least, always fish fry on Fridays, and prime rib on Saturdays and often Sundays, but can’t get those things the rest of the week. Just how they operate. Sometimes a limited fish fry is available on Wednesdays, though.

They used to be fun, they were made to look like a seaside shanty, with the wood decks and piers and ropes. Inside they had nets and treasure chests and everything was dark wood made to look like a galley on a pirate ship and you could even get a pirate hat. Now they look like a school cafeteria.
