Bakerville House

 
Built c. 1721, this two story Georgian, known as the Tripp House, most likely started as a half house before the other side was added. Bob and Anne Baker purchased the house and land at 670 Drift Road from John Souza in 1967. Because the land surrounding the main house had been stripped of its gravel for a state project in 1962, the Baker's decided to move the house to a more desirable location on the property. After the move and while the main house was being restored, the Baker's acquired additional building structures: the ell to the house, a shed, a slaughterhouse, the boat shop, a barn, and the Cole House.
