Edward and Anne Hunter moved into this home in 1842 and added a kitchen sometime after 1843, after Edward became a bishop in Nauvoo's 5th Ward. Here, Joseph Smith dictated to a scribe instructions on proxy baptism and keeping accurate records of ordinances. Portions of these written instructions are now included as sections 127 and 128 of the Doctrine and Covenants.
