The Tinker Swiss Cottage is a historic house museum and park in Rockford, Illinois. It was built as a personal residence by Robert Hall Tinker between 1865 and 1870. Most striking is the interior for its dimensions including the high ceilings, angled roof, and unique designs in many of the first floor rooms. Many elements of the house were created or inspired by the ideas of Tinker, including the walnut spiral staircase which Robert himself made out of a single piece of wood and the rooms with rounded corners. The museum contains all the original objects belonging to the family, from furniture and artwork, to clothing and diaries.
