The Capt. Seth Baker Jr. House is a historic house at 35 Main Street in Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA. This modest 1.5 story wood frame house was built c. 1850 by Seth Baker, Jr., a ship's captain. It is in a simple vernacular Federalist/Greek Revival transitional style, with a Federal-style center entry with a tall frieze and projecting cornice. The house is somewhat simple for a ship's captain, whose houses are usually more elaborate. Baker's grandson Walter founded the Colonial Candle Company.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
