+ Vegas_Millennial Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 Yes, I have. The oldest man made building in Nevada is "The Old Mormon Fort" in Las Vegas constructed in 1855 by Mormon missionaries (Hello.. My name is... 🎶 🎵). It was later used as part of a ranch, and then an Elks Lodge in the 20th century. marylander1940, + azdr0710 and viewing ownly 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike carey Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 I haven't visited the oldest man-made structure in my state (of New South Wales) but having looked it up I may have to check it out. It is the fish traps in the Barwon River at the town of Brewarrina in the north-west of the state. I had no idea of the scale of the structures. They are estimated to be 40,000 years old.

Constructed in A.D. 1753, it is where General Washington addressed Congress (before he became a two term President). It's still not the oldest man-made structure in Pennsylvania; but, at least it's older than all of the members of this website 😁 Edited December 16, 2023 by Vegas_Millennial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+ Vegas_Millennial Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 (edited) Although not my state (see earlier post for Nevada), I visited the oldest man-made structure in Hawaii. Built in 1821, Ka Hale Lā‘au was built by the Christian missionaries and is located in downtown Honolulu.

I'm surprised it says that considering there are older constructions by Hawaiian natives like the Menehune or Alekoko fishpond!

Menehune Fishpond - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG I think it's because a fishpond is not considered a "structure". I was using the title of the thread which says "structure" In Nevada, we have American Indian paintings, caves, and ditches that pre-date the A.D. 1855 Old Mormon Fort, but they aren't considered structures.
