Historic Homes of Baker City, Volume 1: The Baker's Dozen, Crossroads and HBC

Historic Homes of Baker City, Vol 1

This is another small book produced as a collaboration between Crossroads Carnegie Art Center and Historic Baker City, and includes 12 historic homes in Baker City with some of their history, notable owners or architects/builders, and current owners at time of publication. This was printed in sometime around the mid 80's so owners are out of date. Instead of using photographs, artist Laura Hayse drew some very lovely images of the houses.

I am adding this to my research pile for a project I plan on doing for my hometown of Baker City, Oregon.

Historic Baker City: A Walking/Driving Tour

Historic Baker City, Inc.

This is a lovely small book from 1985 when Historic Baker City was working hard to revitalize the town of Baker City, restoring historic buildings and trying to bring tourism and growth to the town. With this book, you have information on most of the historic buildings of Baker, where they are located, and when available, some of the history of their previous owners or builders. You can walk or drive around town with this as your guide.

I will be adding this book to my research pile for a project I am planning on starting soon.
