Tank House
Tank House, also known as Tank Cooperative is an 1897 Queen Anne living and dining cooperative owned and maintained by Oberlin College. Originally the Tank Home for Missionary Children, the house underwent a series of renovations before becoming the co-op it is today.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oberlinheritage.org/cms/files/File/inventory/collegeeast110.pdf )〕 In 1962, it became the property of Oberlin Student Cooperative Association, the second largest student cooperative in the United States.
==History==
The house was built by the Oberlin Missionary Home Association in 1897 to house the children of the missionaries abroad. It was designed by Cleveland architect F. A. Coburn. The firm of Glen and Copeland, from Oberlin, were the builders. The Home was named after Mrs. Caroline L. A. Tank, who contributed a quarter of the cost of its construction as a gift from the estate of her late husband Nils Otto Tank, who was a wealthy son of a Norwegian gentryman and worked as a missionary in Dutch Guiana in the 1840s; he also founded a Moravian religious commune in northern Wisconsin. In 1922, after the Association had ended, the College acquired the property for use as a women’s dormitory. It became a residential co-operative in 1963.
