Every building in the project in order of when it was built, grouped by century. Each building is placed by the first year in its Built row (its start or founding date), and the full dates are shown alongside.

The list below is generated automatically by scripts/build_index.py, so don't edit it by hand. To change where a building appears, correct the Built row in its entry.
