The second image features a soaring A Frame structure. The A Frame style of building was revived in the mid-Century modern time period, with many commercial buildings featuring the soaring roof line. Several theme parks used this style of building for entrance buildings, notably the entrance to Sea World.

The second image definitely reminds me of Sea World architecture from the 1960's.
And I believe all the buildings in the image are still standing in essentially all their 1962 loveliness. The multi-story building on the right (18 stories, to be exact) is the Skye at Belltown Apartments - originally the Grosvenor House, at the time of the World's Fair. And peaking into the left side of the image is the Devonshire Apartments, built in 1925, and very much still standing.
