I am somewhat surprised you exclude SOCAL and Texas. I think this older lines of simple stores in brick buildings are found everywhere in the US and they are not typical for any area. An example might be Raton NM. The block between 1st St, 2nd. St, Cook Ave and Park Ave has rear walls made of brick similar to RIX or DPM. Also many old rear walls of small brick buildings in the LA warehouse district have a lot in common with RIX and DPM rear walls.
Your remarks about the change from 1960 to 1980 are so important for all the details. I will try to find a compromise of well maintained and run down buildings to be flexible in time definitions.
Thank you for helping!
