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.

This channel is about America!
The best video on this topic!
Great video Man, Cheers from Adelaide South Australia 🤠🇦🇺🦘🇺🇸
Simon!
"Went to Mexico on a missionary" Wonder how the missionary felt about some dude riding him all the way to Mexico
By the same token, I didn't see a single "old missionary", either.
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.
Merry Christmas, Nick Johnson.
A bit premature
Merry Christmas to all YOU guys!!!
Godi ipad or
@@NickJohnson VIRGINIA
the jamestown church isn't the oldest, the foundation is 1647, the wood structure was replaced the a brick structure in 1739
jamestown est 1609
the oldest intake structure is
BROAD BAY MANOR 1636
and has been in private residence since
actually IT IS purportedly the OLDEST extant European-built house in the SOUTH EASTERN United States.
@@NickJohnson nick you the mofoking MAN
Merry Christmas Nick..A Excellent Video.. Highly Recommended.. Thank You Very Much For Sharing.
15:26
You: “are electric blankets still a thing?”
Me: laughing as I watch this from beneath an electric blanket.
So they are still a thing
Cool video idea!
Merry Christmas to you and 2 all.
Cheers from Cincinnati.
🥂 merry Christmas 🎄
I Love Your Videos !!! You have a gift my friend .
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 that's devils tower
And you are talking about the case Grande ruins
*Interesting content, Thx4Sharing Nick* 👍🇺🇸
Great stuff!!
It is interesting huh?
"No, trolls! Where I live isn't the oldest building in North Carolina." Lol. Best quote of the video!
Q: Where are the trolls in this video? A: The trolls are the viewers from overseas who watch this video for giggles.
Merry Christmas ☃️🎄 Nick you have great video 📸 watch all the time .
Merry Christmas to you too!!!!
Really cool video Nick!!! Thanks for doing this one. ♥️🏠
Sarah I'm all over the place hon :)
Nice video!
Another good piece of work and very enjoyable, Merry Christmas 🎄 🎁 to all !!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You should do a video on the oldest city in every state, that would probably be an interesting video
@Fitz the dragon in Michigan the oldest city is Sault Ste Marie which was founded in the 1600s
Ok!
Merry Christmas, Nick!
You too!!
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!
Hey Tim! Glad you learned something ❤️
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.
No way!!!
Hello Mr. Johnson,
this is a good new tour from your traveling series. It's great to see your touring topics have expanded for us to learn about American architectural past.
👍 and 🙏 thank you.
Sure ok!
Merry Christmas Nick! Thanks for another great video! The cliff dwellings are absolutely on my bucket list.
Go now cause they clearly won't be around much longer!
@@NickJohnson haha...funny 😂
LOVE this episode!!!!! (Is Mr. Mappy on vacation?)
He is NEVER on vacay. Just planning his research I suppose ❤️
Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Mappy
So interesting, thank you
Love it❤❤❤❤
I really enjoyed this one. I think this is the most interesting video you’ve created yet.
I love history the craftsmanship of all old things especially buildings my dad was a brick layer/mason, my grandfather refinished wood and I collect and refinish old things
I loved this video...so interesting! I appreciate all the research that went into this.
Me too Jill
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Loved this video! Hopefully on 2021 you'll still keep educating people on what the states have going or not going on🎅🎍👍
Hey Patti ❤️❤️
Excellent! Informative and fun, I learned a lot and enjoyed the humor & music too. Well-researched. Just happened upon this today in 2023. I'm in CA and have been to Mission San Juan Capistrano, it's beautiful and remains structurally sound. Thanks for your videos :)
I really like this type of video Mr.Johnson:)
Good! I'll do more then ❤️
I live 5 minutes away from the oldest building in WV. How cool! Doesn't sound like something I can tour, but its exciting to know its close!
Love your informative videos so far! Please bring back mappy (and family) in future videos as I get a great laugh from them as I am learning. 😂
Ok ❤️❤️
Great idea!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I’ve been to a few of these.
Lucky Bob!!
Glad to see you in front of the camera. Love your videos
Ok thanks for saying that!
Merry Xmas Nick!
Hey!
Merry Christmas Nick & Mappy Family. From My Family to Yours💖💖💖
Aww Merry Christmas to you too Wanda
Thank you for another interesting video, Nick. If you don't upload until January, I wish you and the Mappy family a merry X-mas and a happy new year.
You too ❤️❤️❤️
"This building is made of poop and it's still standing?" Asking the important questions.
So cool! Merry Christmas, Nick!
😘
This is awesome Nick and you need to do ones of largest building, tallest mountain, most visited place and much much more of each State! Thank you for putting on videos through out the year!
Who is Dan
@@NickJohnson I mean Nick and sorry about that!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us all
Gee, I wonder where you got the idea for this video, Nick. . . . 🤔😉 Well done!
Your mom!!!
Some very interesting historical sites
I'd have thought some of the Anasazi buildings in Arizona would have pre-dated the Spanish mission Church.
Same with Utah. Also Chaco Canyon is older than Taos Pueblo.
Montezuma's castle dates back to 1100 AD
travel3, Paul J : You two people have confirmed my suspicions. These buildings are old even by European standards.
Arizona- Casa Grande national monument?
All done with the preping for Christmas & are you going have Mappy & his family Nick. 🎄🎁😇
Yes they're a handful!!!
Yeah but in a way are family because I imagine that you both have gone through a lot together Nick. 🎄🎁❤
&I bet his kids think of as uncle Nick. ❤
13:47 an old building with no fireplace in North Dakota?
It must have been a very short seasonal operation then.
2:24 this part was bought from Mexico in the Gadsden Purchase.
What a wonderful video thank you! I can confirm that the Flintstones buildings are still standing. Mappy was just telling me he's looking to move his family into one of them, explaining that "you wouldn't believe how low the rents are."
Haha Jessica!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@NickJohnson lol help I am getting involved in Mappy's family drama!
It ain’t the first building in each state it’s the oldest surviving structure in each state.
BINGO!!!
Well we can't have a building that's fallen down can we?
I love history videos 😍
Me too.
Oh, cool! I think this might be one of your most interesting videos so far!
(Not to say your others' aren't)
that is so sad for the bison...this is a FORT *Nick giggles* 🤣 14:20
Good afternoon Nick 🙂
Great video Nick. Do more like this. As a side note, I collect old and rare books. I have one book in particular that was published in 1508. Every once in a while I take it out and marvel at the fact it was make just a few years after Columbus sailed for the New World, 100 years before Jamestown was settled, and a year before Henry VIII took the English throne. It's a theological work by an Italian priest. It's in Latin, so it's not much fun to read.
Haha my goal is to find some old treasure like that and realize someone hid a treasure in it.
@@NickJohnson The only treasure I found inside was a bunch of dead bookworms.
11:07 Nick says "Rawhide" and my brain instantly thinks "The Blues Brothers" movie 🤣
Hi Nick, maybe you can do the oldest university in each state.
Drinking coffee at 4pm (don't judge), after what is already a stressful day, watching some Nick Johnson. Especially love the Colorado and New Mexico ones...It's clear how buildings in Latin America were influenced by the look of the pueblos. also neat to see what civilization looked like before Europe came in.
Coffee at 4 is fun!
QDid you do the honey Badger video?
Loved the video. Malalla, Oregon is actually spelled Molalla, Oregon though.
Ahhhhh
"Are electric blankets still a thing?" Using one right now. So cozy.
Yah this one was fun!!! Theres a cool video on youtube called Tallest building in each state with techno music. This is OUR history guys! and theres still Bison and buffalo burgers galore~!!!
In Japan they have beautiful temples and castles made entirely of wood that go back to the 1600s. But they understand wood doesn't last forever. When a piece of wood wears out, they replace it with an exact duplicate. So every part of these buildings have been replaced maybe several times, but the buildings themselves are still considered 400 years old. I suspect many of the buildings you showed are similar.
Great job, though! I love your videos.
Love you!!
When you showed the Michigan building, I wished you would have played your Michigan song 🤣. I have that song in my head occasionally
Yay! Mesa Verde as the thumbnail ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck Nick
Can you make a list of the oldest cities in each US State by age please?
I could
Maine has hundreds of buildings that are older than 1860 and untouched
I’m from Maine, and no, the oldest standing building is in Kittery, founded in the 1600s, it is still standing.
Yes! The Bray House. Noticed some of the mistakes too.
@Eddie R Not from Maine but from MA. I descend from an old Maine family, The Pauls. Nick's video is full of mistakes and he won't admit it. I won't be watching any of his videos in the future.
@@ritaparisiwaterfallproduct8104 I recently started watching his videos and someone who grew up in the South and Midwest I see alot of incorrect info he's gives.
I love beautiful buildings.
Merry Christmas, Nick and Mappy family!😁🎅🏼🌲🗺
Mappy says ❤️❤️❤️❤️
3:23 I live in Colorado and we might be going here this summer!!!
You should do the 1st town/city/village in every state!
Ok!
if i remember correctly. Places like Brooke Place Manor has two-room build off its roof. There are called Widow's Watches, many houses from the NE and Mid Atlantic have them for families of Fishermen, Pirates, Nautical Related Jobs. Many Wives and Families would use the Watches as the overlooked a body of water as they watched their loved ones. Some even had a Widow's walk, an actual platform build on a roof to pace and look over the waters.
Of course the picture you showed of (Kansas's) Douglas MacArthur's mother was actually Nell Arthur, wife of Chester Arthur, and her only son was Chester Arthur, Jr., who never had a job his whole life. But Nell Arthur sure was pretty and shame she died young before becoming a first lady .... but everyone knows this already. ;) Another 10 out of 10 on this one, Nick - worth a rewatch (like all your vids)
Hey nick and mappy family
Have a happy weekend
Merry Christmas 😃😃
You have a good holiday and spend time with your family!!!
Nick do make a video about Long Island ny bro
Merry Christmas
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.
6:13 wait that is the oldest building in the state? I’ve been there! I used to do re-enactments there. Lots of fun.
Our house was built in 1920 it's 100 years old and I do believe it will be here in 200 more years. Hello from Virginia
Nick Please unbox West Sacramento 😉
Lol why? That's so random ❤️
Saint Augustine was bombarded and raided several times over numerous wars. Which is why the oldest building only dates back 1695. There were building before but were destroyed.
It's interesting the dates of some of these houses. There is a random, unremarkable house down the street from me that was built in 1800. When it was listed for sale, they suggested you could restore it or tear it down (nbd)
Wait, wait, wait! Nick, was that a "song"? How about verses? (And where's Mappy?)
Mappy was taking a dump
My late father in law worked at the oldest house in the USA. He was actually a park ranger. The local Pueblo were called Anasazi, if I am remembered correctly.
Cool Sandra!!
This deserves to be shown in history classes. Well done Nick
Maybe kids will take some initiative:)
Do not show this in history class. Every time he mentions something about Ohio, he does it in such a condescending manner. My family settled in Ohio in the mid 1600s. Not only did they have to fight Indians but hey fought in the revolutionary war and he civil war and every war after that. You know nothing of Ohio, so don't be too eager with the put downs. Ohio's oldest building got about 5 seconds of air time with most of it derogatory. Thanks for nothing.
DO NOT SHOW THIS IN HISTORY CLASSES!
I am so tired of the derogatory remarks he makes about Ohio. EVERY VIDEO! The building in Ohio got about 5 seconds of air time...most of it condescending.
@@justme2423 I Originate from the Chippewa Tribe. Your ancestors didn’t have to fight fight mine. I still think this belongs in classrooms. Maybe not the uncool teachers classes, but the cool teacher who is in the know.
I live in a smallish town in the North of the UK, oldest building is a Presbyterian church from the 1600s, most of the houses in the town are Victorian with some older Georgian grand places, outskirts will mostly be from the 40,s and 50s, it's fairly typical of the UK
Happy Holidays
LOVE YOU NICK YOU ARE THE BEST CONTENT CREATOR
I mean my house has been here for 60 years and just down the road a little ways was the house my great grandpa built in the 1940’s for his family. It’s still there. Some of these buildings are 90 years old and people are still moving in. These houses survive hurricanes better than the new houses
LOL! Obviously buildings that have been around a long time survive hurricanes better than those who didn't! 8^)
Lafitte's is a fun place. Theres a piano bar in the back and a haunted fire place. If you go to the French Quarter you should stop by.
@8:19 No, Nick -- that is the Moffatt-Ladd House in Portsmouth, NH, built between 1760 and 1763.
My house is already quite old, it has been passed down in my hubby's family since 1684, the interesting thing is that in an old bible there is notes that three brothers emigrated to the US in 1856, I would love to know were they ended up since they are relatives of my husband. I'm living in Sweden.
My house was built about 150 years ago in 1873, and And was built by my great great great grandpa, it’s pretty well made and has lasted this long, I’m sure it could last another 300.
Nick's Johnson do be popping up on my feed
Cool
@@NickJohnson Haha you're the best, have you ever considered doing a video on all the prehistoric mounds and earthworks across the US? Many have been demolished but some super cool places remain.
I agree the oldest building in Wyoming might be at Ft. Laramie but the Fossil Cabin is many many miles away near Medicine Bow and it was built in 1932. Have a Merry Christmas!
BTW, I live in Wyoming and have stopped at the Fossil Cabin many times. There's a planned project to move the Fossil Cabin into Medicine Bow to preserve and protect it from vandals chipping out pieces of dinosaur bone.
Please unbox either montana or Wyoming
Ok Montana next week
