The Hunt House, formerly the Dunham–Hunt Museum, is a Registered Historic Place credited as being the oldest brick residence in St. Charles, Illinois.

Hunt oversaw the construction of the town's first frame building in 1836, and bought a small hotel in 1837, where the first election in St. Charles took place.

Hunt constructed this residence in 1841 from local brick from Penny's Brickyard (modern day Baker Park).

The Hunt family owned the house until 1980, and left much of the original flooring, trim, windows, doors, siding, and hardware intact.

The house was threatened with demolition when Baker Memorial Methodist Church sought to expand its parking area.

Jane Dunham (from another early Kane County family), who had a passion for historic preservation, bought the building in order to save it from destruction in 1980.

The house remains consistent with original design due to the long span of time that it was in the possession of the Hunt family.
