Same for me. I've always thought that was an interesting corner of downtown.

Actually, all of those buildings are still there, the rowhouses, the big brown building under construction, which I believe was the Southwestern Bell Building, and the high rise on the right, the Ernest O. Thompson State Building. The only building that isn't still there is the one to the right (west) of the rowhouses. That was demolished for the AT&T switching station at 10th & Colorado across from the Ernest O. Thompson Building.

Here's the switching station. It replaced the building that was next to the rowhouses. The old Southwestern Bell Building also had a facade redo sometime in the 60s, probably at the same time the switching station was built.
