historic buildings
Preserved architectural monuments
Historic buildings are structures recognized for their age, architectural significance, or connection to important events or people.
The term implies worthiness of preservation: The city designated several historic buildings as landmarks.
A building may be historic without being architecturally distinguished if something notable happened there.
Historic districts contain clusters of such buildings protected from demolition or unsympathetic alteration.
