John Baker's
cabin, built about 1797, on the Baker Farm on Pond Creek Road, in Campbell
County, Kentucky
This was called a Saddlebag house. The kitchen
and parents' bedroom were on one side, the boys were on the other side and the
girls upstairs. The middle was open with a gate on each side. The livestock was
put inside at night to protect them from Indiana.

These pictures were taken many years ago. The house has
since been torn down.
