I live in Massachusetts and grew up in a town, in fact once lived in a house, that was built in the 1600s. This is not the oldest building in town. It is the Old Coast Guard Station. It was build in 1898 and given to the town by the coast guard in the 1970s. It is used for the American Legion and town events now. It is directly across the street from our house. The first and third pictures of it are from our porch. my town shoot out oldest building in town
