About the district: Comfortably nestled in the northeast corner of the hip Baker neighborhood, the Baker Historic District is truly a gem in the crown of the Queen City of the Plains. First platted in the 1870s, this area of the Baker neighborhood was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 and became an historic district in 2000. Some architectural highlights of the area are the charming 19th century brick homes and buildings by architect William Lang.
