Baker Mansion

Texas · USA · Manor

J D Baker died before the house he was building was finished. His son Charles disappeared in 1908 and was never accounted for.

The Baker Mansion at Weatherford, Texas was built in 1894. J D Baker, who commissioned it, died before it was completed.

His son Charles disappeared in 1908. Nobody established what became of him.

He is the figure the house is associated with, which is the natural outcome when someone vanishes rather than dies: there is no grave, no date and nothing to close the account with.

The Fant family bought the property in 1940, and the accounts that circulate come from a relative who lived in the house rather than from visitors.

A disappearance in a small Texas town in 1908 would have been investigated as far as the means of the day allowed, and the fact that the family were still talking about it three decades later says how little was resolved.

The house is private property.
