He had a hotel in Aurora, Huntoon House. His former residence built about 1835 was at 31 N. Broadway and is believed to be the last remaining hand hewn timber frame structure in the downtown. For decades the building was covered over with false fronts, masking its wood construction. The building was remodeled in 2001 to reflect its appearance as a Victorian commercial era building with an Italianate cornice and window hoods. It is currently the Chupacabra Puerto Rican Restaurant.
Edward D. Huntoon was born 4 April 1805 in Vassalboro, Kennebec, Maine, to Enoch P. & Sally Huntoon.
In June of that year (1837), E.D. Huntoon arrived from the state of Maine, and purchased a claim containing 240 acres, of one Jackson Gordon, for which he paid $400. Source: https://genealogytrails.com/ill/kane/1859directory.html
