Not sure but my city refuses to tear some down old buildings for "historical prosperity. These aren't even nice buildings, they're all condemed generic concrete blocks.
- And I live in the third brick structure built in the country and my house was built in 1857. Good chance Abraham Lincoln has been in my house.
Mo'okini Heiau on the Island of Hawaii. 13th or 14th century.
I couldn’t find the oldest building overall, but the oldest surviving house was built in 1716. While my city was settled earlier, it was essentially a “boom town” of the early Industrial Revolution in the US
Oldest house is 1702. Definitely not super-old, there were earlier structures, but this is the oldest one left standing.
I come from England but now I live in Western Canada. The oldest building is apparently a little wooden schoolhouse from the mid-1840s.
The likely oldest standing building in Canada is from 1637, a Jesuit mission house.
