This house was built in 1910 by Ernest H. Hill of Bruneau-Hill Investment Co. and was rented out by its second owner, Charles Dewey, until James and Kate Barker bought the house in 1917. Baker was a professor in the language department at the university. After his retirement in 1946 he served L.D.S. missions in France and Argentina, and wrote several church books. Kate founded the Mormon Handicraft Shop. They lived in this house until James was killed in an automobile accident in 1958.
