The Joel S. Fisk House, at 123 N. Oakland Ave. in Green Bay, Wisconsin was built in 1865[2] in the Italianate style, a distinct 19th-century phase of Classical architecture. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1][3][4] It is also a contributing building in the NRHP-listed Oakland–Dousman Historic District.

It is a two-story Italianate cream brick building, with a one-and-one-half-story wing to the right rear. Its hipped roof has a cupola, consistent with Italianate style, with double pairs of round-arched windows.[3]

History

Also known as the William Gibbs House, the property was owned by local postmaster Joel S. Fisk. It would later be used as a public library.[5] Eventually, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and to the State Register of Historic Places in 1989.
