At what point is the Delaware Block House[1] still the original building[2]? You can see the roof was replaced recently, and presumably the rendering[3]..<p>[1]: Delaware, the Block House <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_House" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_House</a><p>[2]: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_of_Theseus</a><p>[3]: In the episode "Heroes and Villains" (Only Fools and Horses UK Sitcom), Trigger wins an award for having owned the same broom for 20 years.

Georgia's is incorrect. The oldest in Georgia is the "Pirates House" in Savannah: <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_buildings_in_Georgia_(U.S._state)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_the_oldest_buildings_i...</a>
There's no way the Alamo is the oldest building in Texas. A cursory googlin' turns up this, for example":<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Juan_Capistrano_(Texas)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission_San_Juan_Capistrano_(T...</a>
I was hoping there would be Google Maps links for some of these, so I could look them up in Street View.<p>Unfortunately, typing the names of some of these buildings into Google Maps doesn't work.

It's always amusing to find out what Americans think is old. Most of the buildings around here are mid to late Victorian with the odd Elizabethan dwelling sitting about two feet lower than anywhere else. The church is 900 years old with the present building dating from 1483.<p>I chuckle when I realise we have public conveniences here in the UK that are older than Canada.
