The Abbot-Baker House is a historic house at 5 Argilla Road in Andover, Massachusetts. This First Period house estimated to have been built around 1685, although it is possible it contains portions of an earlier house that stood on the site. It was built by Thomas Abbot, son of one of Andover's first settlers. It remained in his family until 1797, when it was sold to Symonds Baker, a doctor. The house remains in the hands of his descendants.[2]

The house is a 2.5 story colonial saltbox style construction with a large central chimney. It is five window bays wide, with a central door that is in a slightly protruding vestibute area. An ell has been attached to the rear of the house.[2] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
