A former church (seen in one of my previous photos along the Delaware Canal) located on PA-611 in Williams Township, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. I believe it's now a private residence.

Prince Asakanomiya Yasuhiko (朝香宮鳩彦 1887-1981), a son-in-law of Emperor Meiji, was a general of the Japanese Imperial Army. His residence was built in 1933 on the site of a former Edo residence of the Matsudaira (松平) family that had their Han (藩 domain) in Takamatsu in the Shikoku island.
He studied in France and became fascinated with the French culture. He hired Henri Rapin, a French art déco artist, to design the interior.
Asakanomiya narrowly avoided being named a war criminal, but was purged from holding any political and public offices after the WW II by the order of GHQ of the US-led occupation forces. His imperial family status was also abolished.
The mansion occupying a primary location in the Yamanote terrace was seized by the government and sold to the Seibu Group in 1950. It had been used as a guesthouse of the Ikebukuro-based railways, retail and hotel group until 1975.
Seibu also purchased his villa in Karuizawa, a famous hill station in the Nagano prefecture, and converted it to Karuizawa Prince Hotel.
Seibu tried to built another Prince Hotel in Prince Asakanomiya's residence, but gave it up finally due to a strong local opposition. Seibu sold the property to the Tokyo prefecture in 1981, and the prefecture converted it to the Metropolitan Teien Art Museum (都立庭園美術館) as it is today.
Excerpt from gpsmycity.com:
Mauthalle (Former Customs House), Nuremberg:
This medieval building has served as a granary and customhouse throughout its centuries-old history. It was built as a granary around 1498 on the site of the former city moat. At the time, this was the largest grain house in the city and stored food for times of crisis.
The Former Customs House features a gabled roof. The eastern gable has an intricate network of blind ogee arches. The city's coat of arms, with the imperial eagle, is featured in the lancet-arched portal.
The impressive roof has five stories and rests on top of the three-story sandstone building.
The granary began serving as a customhouse in 1572. The building was heavily damaged during WWII but has been restored. The original builders used half-timbers on the facade; the remaining half-timbered facade can be seen on the building's easter wing. The rest of the building was rebuilt using brick.
The cellar features 26 pillars and now houses the Barefoot brewery and restaurant.
this building on the grounds of the former Warner Barracks in Bamberg was the fire station of the US Army in Bamberg until February 1996.

Former mid-1960s Phillips 66 pier style, batwing service station. Now Los Gomez Restaurant.
“In 1960, Phillips 66 introduced what arguably became its most popular and iconic service station design, which featured a large, upward-slanting, triangular-shaped canopy. Clarence Reinhardt, an architect who worked at Phillips and designed most of the company’s buildings, developed this distinctive design, inspired by designs he observed in Southern California.”

Bamberg is a city in Bavaria, Germany.
It is located in Upper Franconia on the river Regnitz, close to its confluence with the river Main.
Bamberg is one of the few cities in Germany that was not destroyed by World War II bombings because of a nearby Artillery Factory that prevented planes from getting near to Bamberg.

That website has many photos of former Lucky stores.
Examples are Carmichael, Davis, Sacramento, etc.
Hollow pipes, hollow triangle, and thin green plastic signs all held up by little strings from the ceiling. Very flimsy.
