Description
Built in 1885 as a summer residence for Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hall Baker, the 17,000+ square foot, 30 room, Queen Anne style Mansion was first named “Redwood Cottage.” The Land that the house was built on was originally given to Charles Minton Baker, (Robert's father), in 1838 by the City of Lake Geneva as part of a "compensation package" for becoming the first District Attorney of Walworth County, Wisconsin.[2]
