As recently as 2015, there were plans to renovate these historic storefronts but it appears that the work has stalled. Though identification of the buildings has proven difficult, the three-story example is known as the Stanfill Building and dates to 1911. My understanding is that it was first used as a department store.

Great series on Hahira, Brian. Those are fascinating unused storefronts with very interesting histories, I’m sure. Perhaps there are other older residents in the area who recall those buildings. I certainly hope this set of three storefronts can be restored. When suburbs are taking over, those bygone relics of earlier mercantile times are more valuable historically than ever.
Thanks. An interesting place.
