These Are the Oldest Buildings Still Standing in Texas

We are so fortunate to call Texas home. There is so much to do and see, plus the people here are still very kind. It has been a wonderful place to call home for a long time and it will continue to be that way.

There is so much history that many of us will never know about, but there are buildings that are still standing from hundreds of years ago. It’s pretty cool that structures from so long ago are still standing, so I wanted to work on a list of the oldest standing buildings and see if I could find pictures of them all.

Modern Updates to Historic Texas Landmarks

While it would have been amazing to see what these structures looked like over 100 years ago, I don’t have access to many of those photos. But with Google Maps I was able to find most of these structures and take photos of what they look like now, and most are looking great. Although a few have had modern upgrades, most are still in great shape.
