​

The Baker-Peters House was one of several antebellum plantation homes
on Kingston Pike. A two-story Greek Revival structure with front columns
and a porte-cochère, it was built in 1830 by Dr. Harvey Baker, who was
killed there by Union soldiers during the Civil War. Mrs. Baker sold the
house to the George Peters family, who lived in it until 1940.
