The oldest structures in the United States are the adobe buildings of Taos Pueblo, known as Hlauuma and Hlaukwima, which date between 1000 and 1450 AD. This raises the possibility that the Mesa Verde Cliff Dwellings, built around 1190 AD, could be the oldest buildings. Additionally, the Cahokia Mounds from the ninth century represent significant ancient human-made structures, originally supporting a populous city. Notably, Damascus, Syria is claimed to be the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world.
The oldest buildings still standing in the United States may be two adobe structures in Taos Pueblo, dating back to between 1000 and 1450 AD.
Cahokia Mounds in Illinois are some of the oldest human-made structures in the U.S., serving as foundational sites for public buildings from the ninth century.
