The Hosmer Homestead (also known as the Hosmer/Baker Farm) is a historic house located at 138 Baker Avenue in Concord, Massachusetts.

Description and history[edit]

The oldest portion of this 2+12-story wood-frame house was probably built c. 1710 by Stephen Hosmer, based on architectural evidence. The property has a long association with the Hosmer family, who were early settlers of Concord and who have played a significant role in the growth and civic life of the town. The house interior has well-preserved Georgian woodwork and plaster.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 3, 1999.[1]
