In the city center there are still some 17th-century houses, mainly deep one-storey buildings separated by a drip strip or oxtail. Later, the windows, gables or fronts have been changed almost everywhere. Characteristic is the early 17th century building Sluisstraat 3 with checkered window arches. Around 1650, Mayor Hoeckebot lived here. The framed entrance and the profiled plinth bar are 18th century. A sidewalk and a slightly protruding floor have Weesperstraat 52 from 1644 (facing brick), the strongly restored old gin distillery Weesperstraat 54 (spout) and the Weesperstraat 9 building (capped list façade).
Herengracht 40 is one of the few examples in Muiden of a basement house with a high pavement. The gable contains a sculpted oval window.
Herengracht 51 has a bell-gable with natural stone decoys in Louis XIV style (circa 1740, shop around 1860). In the 18th century, two existing deep buildings were sometimes installed behind a wide new façade, such as Herengracht 75. This façade features a storey window in Louis XIV forms (circa 1740) above a late-18th-century framed entrance. The comparable late 18th century façade of the Herengracht 76 has a cornice with metopes. This mansion contains a basement room. From the 18th century, the low, later plastered, transverse house Weesperstraat 38 dates back. Examples of simple, deep houses with a spout facade are Weesperstraat 12 (18th-century corner fences) and Hellingstraat 8 (1812). Behind the cobblestone façade of Herengracht 23, built around 1860, is an older core; that is also the case at Herengracht 54, 56 and 58.
In connection with the Kringenwet, only wooden houses were built around the old core, such as Singelstraat 32 (1904). Of the houses built around 1905 in the inner city Herengracht 61 and Herengracht 62 exhibits the former
Art Nouveau elements and the second rationalist elements. A stepped gable in late neo-Renaissance style holds Herengracht 63 (1912). Noteworthy is the façade with expressionist ornamental masonry by Weesperstraat 28 (circa 1925).
