Hans Hanson House, Historic mansion in Marquette, United States.
The Hans Hanson House is a 16-room Italianate house built in 1888, with Carpenter Gothic details influenced by Swedish architecture. In its backyard stands Hanson's original 1871 wood-frame cabin, once attached to his 1869 log cabin; the city charter of Marquette was signed in that cabin.
The house was built in 1888 by Swedish immigrant Hans Hanson and stands beside his original wood cabin from 1871. That cabin is notable because the Marquette city charter was signed there in 1874.
