This early photo of Baker Book House was taken during the holiday season. The apartments were still in use on the second floor, and no sign was yet attached above the building.


Attendees of the 1959 CBA convention took buses to Baker Book House in order to tour the facilities. Here they stand in line outside the newly remodeled store.


Baker Book House completed a twenty-five-thousand-square-foot office and warehouse facility in 1966. Located at 6030 East Fulton Street in Ada, the building has been expanded three times. This is a view of the current complex.
