Shops, Hawthorn Road, Caulfield

I came across this rather sad sight in Hawthorn Road, Caulfield this afternoon.

A row of deco shops, all empty, one shut up with security shutters and upstairs broken windows and graffiti covered walls. In one of the shops the ground floor was covered with discarded files and folders.

I don't know what is in store for this stylish block of shops but I suspect it isn't good news.
