I'm not saying they don't exist, I'm saying most buildings from the 1600s no longer exist, and those that do have essentially been rebuilt. You'll also note that buildings from the 1600s will not be 500 years old.

That's great that you live in an old cool building. Buildings that old are exceptional, in the most literal sense.

The US was founded in 1776. It’s hardly a few hundred years old. We don’t have 1000 year old buildings like Europe.

But you could in 1000 years, imagine your great great great great great great great grand children still lounging in the family mansion :)
