This is a good overall list, and anyone could make a case to move many of the cities on the list up or down some notches. However, the middle part of the US is somewhat under-represented, especially the Great Plains. No mention of Denver, KC, Omaha, DFW, OKC or other city that represents that vast area. Is the entire Great Plains "generic"? That sounds coastal-centric.
Oklahoma City is original for being settled as the largest Oklahoma Land Run city. But then other cities were founded under Oklahoma land runs.
Ironically, the colonial parts are less unique than the standard Boston neighborhood/architecture. You can find extremely similar settings in DC Philly and Bmore.

The North End is unique for its layout. Nothing like it in Bmore, Philly, or DC. Rest of the historic neighborhoods aren’t that different, tho.

Boston doesn’t have Colonial neighborhoods. Philly might have 1. It has neighborhoods with some colonial buildings but no neighborhoods that are largely pre 1776
I think Marblehead center is the only real colonial neighborhood in Massachusetts.
But I agree the industrial era Boston is more unique than the Federal style (1776- 1845) Boston.

you can find some North End-like blocks in Philly I saw them on this thread actually.
And yes to Btownboss' point-none of them are "colonial"
