Baker City Historic District

—Established 1874 —

A committee of civic-minded Baker City residents began meeting in 1911 to organize a fund-raising campaign to build a Young Men's Christian Association building. The committee soon had secured pledges of more than $30,000.
Plans for the three-story brick structure included meeting rooms, lodging rooms, a gymnasium on the west side of the building and a small swimming pool in the basement.
The cornerstone of the building, containing a strong box with mementos, was consecrated with corn, oil and wine Oct. 24, 1912, and the building was formally dedicated in March of the following year.

  1. I recently read a comment on this page regarding the governor of Georgia, who wanted to change the name, mascot, and the black and gold colors of a historical African - American school in Bainbridge, Georgia Please check out the History of this school and the beginning of it's creation. I attended this school in my 3rd grade year, and the school was set a fire and burned to the ground. No one was ever caught, the fire remains suspicious as the students of Hutto education was interrupted. The students had to attend school on a half day schedule until the new school was built. Needless to say, other African -African schools succumbed to the same fate in the State of Georgia. All remained suspicious. We need everyone to stand up and fight this petition.
