The John S. Baker House is a historic house in the East Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. Built in 1854 according to a design by Cincinnati architect James Keys Wilson,[1] it was the home of New Jersey native (Wilson's uncle)[2] John S. Baker, who settled in Cincinnati in 1814.[3]
The Baker House is primarily a brick structure with some elements of weatherboarding; it rests on a stone foundation and is covered by a metal roof.[4] Its architecture is prominent in many ways, most significant of which are its overall style: no other large brick houses in the Cincinnati area feature such a distinctively Gothic Revival style. Many details produce the sense of a castle, such as its tower, its battlements and crenellations, and the decorations on the unusually placed and shaped windows. The appearance is further improved by the house's location: sitting atop a river bluff, it is visible from a great distance.[3]
In 1979, the Baker House was listed on the National Register of Historic Places because of its historically significant architecture.[1] Included in the listing were two related buildings, a studio and residence for servants; they are located on the side of the bluff below the main house.[3]
