Review:
Built in 1867, the I.G. Baker House was home to the owner of Montana’s largest mercantile company. When Mr. Baker originally built a home for his family the structure consisted of two adobe rooms covered by a sod roof. A large fireplace kept the Montana winter chills at bay and in the years which followed an additional two rooms were added to the rear of the building and the sod roof was replaced by iron. Later, the outside of the house was covered with clapboard and a front portico was added. Visiting the Baker Home, which is furnished with period pieces, gives visitors valuable insight into the life and times of early Fort Benton residents.
