Tank Cottage, National Historic house in Green Bay, United States
The Tank Cottage features vertical log construction with clapboard siding, wings on both sides, and traditional French-Canadian architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built between 1776 and 1803 by fur trader Joseph Roi, the Tank Cottage changed ownership multiple times before Norwegian missionary Nils Otto Tank purchased it in 1850.
The building demonstrates the French-Canadian construction technique called pièce-sur-pièce à coulisse, representing early European settlement methods in Wisconsin Territory.
Located within Heritage Hill State Historical Park, visitors can explore the interior and exterior of what historians consider the oldest existing building in Wisconsin.
During the War of 1812, this residence served as a British headquarters before its owner, Jacques Porlier, pledged allegiance to the United States in 1820.
