historical buildings
Preserved architectural monuments
Historical buildings are structures significant for their age, architectural style, or association with past events or figures.
The phrase emphasizes preservation value—buildings worth protecting from demolition or alteration: The city designated several historical buildings as landmarks.
Often used interchangeably with "historic buildings," though purists distinguish between historic (important in history) and historical (relating to history).
