Soloman Baker House, Shelton Avenue, Alexandria, Huntingdon County, PA
Summary
Significance: The house that Soloman Baker erected about mid-century and occupied for a decade represents a large residence with late-Federal characteristics overshadowed by Victorian elements that were added late in the century-a common pattern of architectural amalgamation as the canal activities of this period attracted money and taste to Alexandria.
