To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

Nice trick to make ppl revel city they live in and possibly most of these ppl walk past it on semi regular basis so…
1870 to 1871 Government house was built in Darwin Australia.
Luckily survived the Japanese bombing raids and still stands today.
1842, before the city was incorporated. A house. First big building I know of was built in 1888.
St. Augustine has buildings from around 1700, those would be the oldest in my state.
I remember going to London and being amazed by the old buildings, most of what is around here is from the 1920s or newer.
1626, three-storied house.

It was built in the 1820s
I grew up in the Western US, so I’m a big… fan of this underwhelming 1820s business.
The oldest building in Vienna is believed to be the Roman stone quarry in Leithaprodersdorf. It dates back to the Roman era, around 43 AD.
The student dorm I lived in was built as a monastery in 1491.
My current home town still has a guard tower built by the Romans.I used to live in Regensburg, one of the northernmost Roman garrisons. So, the oldest remaining building (stone wall) is almost 2000 years old.
Surprise surprise, it’s a church. Riddarholmen Church built in the 13th century.
I actually don’t know. The area I now live in was partially wiped out by the tsunami in 2011 closer to the coast. We definitely have some buildings that are a few hundred years old that are still in use. Different parts of Japan have older, but it’s almost always a Ship of Theseus sort of situation.
I think it is an old church from around 1100. The oldest residential house is much younger, about 1550.
Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.
We’ve got a pub from 1552 still standing and operating as a pub
We’ve got Roman ruins from 79AD too, but obviously they’re not still a building really
142 years.
Interesting that it was moved to a different lot in 1986.
And looks like any other house, just with fancy window frames.
I like that you figured out the city I was referring to. Not that I made it that hard.
There’s some debate on the age of the old parish church where I live. It was either built on the 7th century or 1078
