Hunter House, 1890s French Renaissance mansion in Midtown Detroit, United States
The Hunter House at 77 West Hancock Street features red brick walls, stone basement, oval windows, and decorative brickwork across its asymmetric facade.
Captain Mulford T. Hunter commissioned architects Donaldson & Meier to design this residence in 1894, after accumulating wealth from Great Lakes shipping operations.
The residence exemplifies the architectural preferences of Detroit's maritime industry leaders during the late nineteenth century industrial expansion.
The structure maintains its original features, including Ionic columns, elliptical fanlight entrance, leaded glass windows, and Syrian arch details throughout the building.
Two distinct dormers with leaded windows crown the facade, establishing the house as a rare surviving Queen Anne townhouse in Detroit's architectural landscape.
