Built in 1849 the Greek Revival architect mansion was originally home to Ironmaster Elias Baker & his family. In the early 1920's the Blair County Historical Society purchased the building and grounds. The mansion has been restored and the rooms are done to period design with historical exhibits.
The carriage house, located on the grounds has been remodeled and now serves as a gift shop.
