History

Samuel and Elizabeth Pinder Baker built this "Cracker" house in 1882. Samuel Baker, a sponge hooker of mariner lineage who owned land at Baillie's Bluff, gave it a nautical touch as well as the traditional "Dog Trot" hall through the center. Its vertical wall planks are joined like shipbuilders fasten together wooden hulls. Restored for use as a museum, the Baker House is the "Crown Jewel" of Pasco County's Centennial Park.
