The George Washington Baker House, at 115 N. 100 West in Mendon, Utah, was built in 1869. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983. [1]

It is a one-story stone building, originally with two roughly square rooms (about 15.3 by 14.3 feet (4.7 m × 4.4 m) and 14.6 by 14.3 feet (4.5 m × 4.4 m)). It has a six-bay facade with two front doors. [2]

Its NRHP nomination describes it as having "Double-Pen Type" architecture, [2] but this is perhaps not in the same sense that the term double pen architecture is used to describe early log homes in Kentucky and other states.
