Historic Builds

For the planned list of builds, see Builds.

This is a list of recognized historic builds within The Shire. The builds are recognized within the International Register of Historical Places (IRHP) and marked with IRHP signs.

Since April 2026, new recognition of historic builds into the IRHP are announced through official releases by Nebbers or other authorized parties, based on research about the builds' unique importance in Shire history. Builds officially listed in IRHP before April 2026 have no official date of elevation. Therefore, their recognition dates are listed as '0 (old canon)'.
