Where is the oldest building in the United States?

Question

Although not originally constructed in the U.S., St. Joan of Arc Chapel on the Marquette University campus was built in France during the 15th century, possibly earlier, and was moved to its current location in 1964 (stone by stone).

Does anyone know of an older building? If so, when was it constructed and if it is not native to the U.S., where was it originally built?
