The house I grew up in is much older than the USA’s inependance. It’s not the oldest building in town.
The town’s church is ~300 years older than Christopher Collumbus’ arrival in the Americas. If it didn’t burn twice, and didn’t had to be rebuilt twice, if would have been a few 100s of years older.
There are countless towns and cities with buildings older than the USA at every street corner here. That person obviously never been to Europe.

yeah the town i grew up in celebrated its 750th recently. it’s not even close.
In Japanese tradition, you count the age of the building’s soul. Even if it burns down and you rebuild it, the age of the building doesn’t reset to 0.
I don’t have any references for this, just my experience.
