Built in the 1750s
The French and Indian War began in the Ohio country in 1754 and went badly for Britain at first. Britain deported the Acadians from Nova Scotia in 1755. Colonial cities were building in brick and stone on a scale that had not been attempted before.
130 places on the National Register have a construction year in the 1750s on record. They stand in 19 states and territories. Of those, 16 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.
