Gordon Hall was built by Judge Samuel W. Dexter House, the founder of Dexter and an early Michigan land baron, in 1841-43. It was almost certainly used as a stop on the Underground Railroad, and was later purchased by Judge Dexter’s granddaughter, pioneering research scientist and suffragist Katherine Dexter McCormick. The house is unique in Michigan for its balance, large scale, and massive hexastyle portico. Currently houses the Dexter Area Historical Society Museum. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
