It is well known that iron was applied to construction material in 19th century, and this application of iron was a factor of modern architectural development. At the first time, iron used to rather the other construction, for example ship makng, than building construction in Japan, as same situation as westrn countries. An old iron tank remains in Tomioka Filature which was built in 1872 by Japanese Government. Though this tank was recognized the old iron work, had no opportunity to conform it's age of construction. We conformed the fact that this tank was original tank to be built in 1874 by physical survey. And we researched the building process of it. This tank was made in Yokohama Factory which was build by Japanese Government (originally by the Tokugawa shougunate in 1860's), and operated by French engineers in government employ. As a result we can say, existing iron tank is a historical structure that was built before introduction of application of iron for material of building structure, and a significant material to see the process of western technology that foreign engineers had transplanted to Japan.
