Marker Text: ​William Green built this house about 1868 and sold it to rancher Samuel McGehee Heard (d.1908). At the time, the homesite included enough surrounding land to graze livestock. Members of the Heard family lived here until 1964 when Robert Lee Baker (d.1957) purchased the house. Designed in the Queen Anne style with a distinctive octagonal corner tower it features Eastlake influences in the decorative porch millwork. (1986)
