The William H. Hunt was constructed on 50 acres of land at 385 Jacobs Street in Seekonk (then Rehoboth) in 1690.

The eastern half of the house was built as a stone-ender. Early photos of the house show how it appeared with the western addition.

According to history, the building was a roadside tavern used by travelers going from Providence to Taunton-Brockton. Later the building was used as a residence and the land for farming.
