Built in the 1670s
King Philip's War tore through New England in 1675 and 1676 and destroyed dozens of towns. Bacon's Rebellion burned Jamestown in 1676. Rebuilding after both is the reason a number of surviving houses of this period date from the years just after the fighting.
18 places on the National Register have a construction year in the 1670s on record. They stand in 3 states and territories. Of those, 4 are National Historic Landmarks.
Construction years come from Wikidata, matched on National Register reference number. Only plain four-digit years are counted, so a place recorded as circa or as a range is left out. Data refreshed November 02, 2026.
