The Oldest Building in Every State

Wow some of these buildings are still standing???

Old buildings. They have a lot of history and charm. Sometimes. Over time, there have been LOTS of different types of buildings made. Some are big and scary and some are small and cute. We can study a building and learn a lot about the way things were back in the day. If you enjoy history or even if you don’t care about the past, you can STILL appreciate the way things were constructed a long time ago.

Today, we’re going to explore the oldest buildings in every state in America. Some were built before we were even a country. And some went up more recently than you might think. Some look really super cool and old, and you’ll wonder how they’re even still standing. Many of the buildings we’ll see just look like regular structures you might pass every day and not even know there’s a lot of history behind em. A lot of these are log cabins, forts and catholic missions. Since we have to visit every single state and all we should probably get started.

Here in Puerto Rico, the oldest surviving building is Casa Blanca (White House, because that isn’t modernly confusing) which was built in 1521 as the residence of the first Spanish governor, Juan Ponce de Leon. His family and descendents lived in the residence until the mid 1700’s when they sold it to the military. It became an officers quarters until 1898. After the Spanish-American War in that same year, the US Army used it as residence as well for high ranking officers until the 1950’s when it was transferred to the state government which converted the building into a museum dedicated to Ponce de Leon.

"Went to Mexico on a missionary" Wonder how the missionary felt about some dude riding him all the way to Mexico

The “big house” in Florence Arizona is believed to be 800-1000 years old and is still standing. It’s also the oldest national monument in the US

"No, trolls! Where I live isn't the oldest building in North Carolina." Lol. Best quote of the video!

You should do a video on the oldest city in every state, that would probably be an interesting video

I hate to be like this but there are several buildings older in Az than the San Xavier del Bac Mission in Tucson. My favorite is Montezuma’s castle. It was built by the Hopi peoples back in 1300s. It was actually a village built into a side of a cliff and it is pretty cool. Then there is one even older than that. It is a hut in Canyon Del Chilly that was built around 350 AD. I have never been there. I would like to ride up to the four corners area to see it. Also, there are a couple more at Agua Fria National Park. The state of Az claims them to be oldest in the state but they are more of remnants than buildings. They were built back in 250 AD.

William Whipple is actually a distant relative of mine. I had no idea his former house still existed until this video, so it was extra interesting. He was a General in the American Revolution who signed the Declaration of Independence.

Great video, Mr. Johnson! I am from Wisconsin and been to the "Tank Cottage" located at Heritage Hill in Green Bay. Green Bay itself is quite old for the USA, having been first established in 1634. I hope you do more history videos....lots to learn!

It ain’t the first building in each state it’s the oldest surviving structure in each state.

13:47 an old building with no fireplace in North Dakota?
It must have been a very short seasonal operation then.
