This is a house of Italianate design but less pretentious and more in the vernacular mode. It is of frame construction with narrow clapboard siding. It has extreme vernacular proportions, extended eaves with brackets, and slightly arched window "eyebrows". The property had been in the hands of the Baer family since the early 19th century. The father Daniel built and owned the first grist mill on the creek which now carries the family name. The 1884 History of Erie County lists the Baer property as a good farm of 120 acres on which are many fine buildings.
