Just to show how architecture varies in different parts of the US here are a few shots from San Diego.
An apartment complex in Little Italy which is typical of that area post redevelopment. Note how it is a mixed use structure combining retail, office, and residential spaces into one package.
A 1950's era Frank Lloyd Wright style house in La Jolla. (Sorry bad picture)
Villa Montezuma is an 1880's gothic Style Victorian which makes up one of the "painted ladies" of the cities Victorian District. Not my cup of tea but clearly it is architecturally different.
The Hotel Del Coronado is another 19th century gem which is architectually different.
Typical WW1 through 1920's era house.
The Salk Institute (founded by the man who invented the cure for Polio) was built in 1945 when everyone was obsessed with modernism. I don't like this barren concrete look but I am posting to show Colon that there is a lot of variety of architecture.
The San Diego Convention Center is a rather interesting steel and glass structure built in the late 1970's.
View of convention center's front entrence.
View of entire building. I like the covered open area on the top floor as the weather and views of the bay are wonderful.
This is the Theodore Geisel Library at the University of California San Diego. Rather nice structure named after the local children's book author who used the pseudonim "Dr. Suess".
