The Baker house was built circa 1858. Although Samuel was a distant relative (first cousin, four times removed), that is not why I picked this house, but for two other reasons. One my parents lived in this house of a while in the 1940s and also because I have some pictures of this house being moved to make room for the 404 bypass.
I thought I had pictures from the 1940s, but cant find them :-(.
