While 1900s sounds funny, you have to put the line somewhere. Consider that the oldest buildings today in the USA, (like for example the Jamestown Church) are basically yesterday when compared to random buildings still in use in Europe, like the Aula Palatina, some random ass church in Germany built in the year 300.
sure, i appreciate it’s historical it’s just funny when you’re used to ‘history’ being so much more remote than somewhere you could reasonably orient yourself in.

Well there’s also the fact that settlers more or less intentionally bulldozed all the old shit in the US.
