The Baker Mansion is a historic home located at Altoona in Blair County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Elias brought his wife, Hetty, and their two sons, David Woods and Sylvester, from Lancaster County to what was described as a "tolerable good mansion house" near the furnace.

That same year, he contracted with Baltimore architect Robert Cary Long, Jr. to design him a new home.

The cost overruns, coupled with falling prices for iron, pushed Mr. Baker to the brink of financial ruin before the home was finished.

After Anna died in 1914, the mansion was closed until 1922, when the Blair County Historical Society leased the building and opened it as a museum.

The project is financed in part from a state Redevelopment Assistance Capital grant and from local matching funds the Society is working to raise.

Anna turned down every marriage her father offer to her, she chose to lock herself in her own room, keeping the wedding dress that she had never had a chance to wear and died in 1914.
