That's not absolutely true. There are quite a few places, here and there, where a block or two of street still has most of the buildings that were there around 1910 or earlier. They tend to be in the areas that escaped the attention and interest of redevelopers, and in many instances are rather run down today, although the revitalization of the old financial district and other neighborhoods of DTLA have done much to improve the general ambience of these places without obliterating the architecture.
You see a lot of this not just downtown, but in other areas like Westlake and even Palms and Sawtelle.
