The Benjamin Baker Jr. House is a historic house at 1579 Hyannis Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Built c. 1828, it is a simple single story Federal style cottage, 3 bays wide, with a side gable roof and wood shingle siding. Its front door, in the right-side bay, is flanked by pilasters and topped by a transom window. The chimney rises from the center of the house behind the left bay. The house was built by Benjamin Baker, Jr., a caulker. His family owned much land in the area, and the road was originally known as "Baker's Lane".[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
