When Zebulon Pike visited the area in 1805, he noted at least eight buildings similar to the Strange Powers house in Prairie du Chien; it is not certain if the house was one of the buildings that Pike saw, or if it was built by early settler Strange Powers, who purchased the lot in 1818.[6]
Francois Vertefeuille House Prairie du Chien 1810–1820 Residential Built by French-Canadian fur traders using the pièce-sur-pièce à coulisse method between 1810 and 1820.[7]

The hospital was separate from the military installation and is the only surviving building.[26]
Denniston House Cassville 1836 Government/hotel Built in 1836 when the Wisconsin Territorial legislature was in the process of choosing a state capital, Denniston House was designed to house the territorial Supreme Court in the hopes that Cassville would be chosen as the seat of government.

Brisbois House Prairie du Chien c. 1837 Residential The two-and-a-half-story structure is a rare example of Federal-style architecture from the Wisconsin territorial period.[33] Some early 20th century sources promoted unsubstantiated claims that the house was built as early as 1808 or 1815, but an assessment by the U.S. Landmark Review Project in 1984 determined that the building's style and construction was more typical of the late 1830s and early 1840s.[34]
