Absolutely in the US. In fact, my hometown parish built and dedicated a (rather ugly) new church from 1966-1968 which was not built to allow ad orientem and has never had an ad orientem Mass.

..."which was not built to allow ad orientem and has never had an ad orientem Mass."If you're talking about free-standing altars, they never necessitated an ad populum mass.
Saint Peter's basilica has long had a free standing altar where Mass has been celebrated both ways.
