I had a little project in Lidcombe (NSW). I had never really been there before. I’d been through on the train but on foot I found a neat little shopping centre. Compare this photo looking down Joseph Street taken c1941 with a photo taken in November 2010

Not much has changed except for the cars and the car parking. Quite refreshing to find these gems.

It IS a gem!
The modern photo shows lovely deco architecture on the right, restored and painted back to its original loveliness. It actually looks smarter than the 1941 version :)
