List of oldest buildings in Alabama

This article attempts to list the oldest extant buildings in the state of Alabama in the United States. Some dates are approximate and based upon dendochronology, architectural studies, and historical records. Though Mobile was founded in 1702 as the colonial capitol of French Louisiana, no documented 18th century buildings remain standing in the state. (The closest example being the LaPointe-Krebs House in Pascagoula, Mississippi) To be listed here a site must:

  • date to 1819 or prior; or
  • be the oldest building in a region, large city, or oldest of its type (government building, style, etc.)

    • Demolished early Alabama buildings

    Issac Bett House, Burnt Corn Alabama

    The existing house once located at 308 Conti Street (now moved) in Mobile may contain portions of a 1796 structure.
