Nameless1 Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 There are four or five contenders for "oldest house in America." Can you name them and... a little more challenging... what style they are? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutterbugkc Posted September 21, 2005 Share Posted September 21, 2005 What an interesting search! The one I came across was the Pueblo looking house in Santa Fe. Don't know if it's actually the oldest but it was pretty interesting to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havanaholly Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The one in St Augustine bills itself as the "Oldest House", however there's a stone one- or two-room house in southeastern OH that my mother told me was built by French furriers in the early to mid 1500s. I have no idea if it's still standing. Then there's the Anasazi pueblo ruins in the SW US. (I originally thought the questions was asking the oldest dollhouse!)

LPCullen Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Seems to me like there are houses in Savannah GA that are older than 1700s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrellandmelissa Posted September 23, 2005 Share Posted September 23, 2005 I think when we got here there were tepees made by the american indians, They were teepee style and made from sticks and deer skin. Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
