Any city largely built out before 1940 has a distinctive look.
That's why SF, despite being on the west coast, is nothing like a Sunbelt city.
What's not being discussed is how land was platted in the prewar era. The long, narrow lots is what allows cities like Chicago to have newer infill that still looks dinstinctive compared to 99% of what's being built in America.
