History
Mulford Hunter was a captain of Great Lakes steamships, earning enough to become wealthy and, in 1894, he commissioned architect William P. Langley to design a home.[2] Hunter lived there with his daughter, his son-in-law and his grandchild.[2]
Architecture
This structure is a Queen Anne townhouse,[2] one of the few remaining examples in the city of Detroit.[3] The basement is built from large stones, elevating the red brick structure well off the ground.[2] The front facade is asymmetric, with a dominating bay window on one side and a one-story porch on the other.[4] The porch features Ionic columns atop raised pedestals, and the front door has an elliptical fanlight framed by a Syrian arch.[4] Above the porch is an oval window, surrounded by decorative brickwork; other second story windows have similar decoration.[4] Two dormers with leaded windows surmount the facade.[4] The house is directly adjacent to the George W. Loomer House; the two are the only remaining buildings from the 19th century in what was at the time one of Detroit's most fashionable areas.[5]
