The Muford T. Hunter house was built in 1894 for Great Lakes steamship Captain Mulford T. Hunter. Captain Hunter lived in the home with his daughter, son-in-law and grandchild. 

The basement of house is quite large, to the point that a straightaway is needed on the porch to get to the first floor. The house is Queen Anne townhouse style, one of the few remaining in Detroit. 
The front of the house it asymmetrical, with a dominating bay window on one side and a one-story porch on the other. The porch has Ionic columns on raised pedestals, and the door is framed by a Syrian arch.

The house is one of two remaining from the 19th century.
