Jim Baker Cabin, Historic log cabin in Savery, Carbon County, United States.

The two-story log building measures 31 feet by 16 feet with two rooms on the lower level and storage space above.

Jim Baker constructed this fortified cabin in 1873 near Little Snake River, where he resided until his death in 1898.

The building exemplifies the architectural methods of frontier settlements, featuring walls made of cottonwood logs between 12 and 15 inches thick.

The cabin sits midway across the Little Snake River bottomland, providing clear views of the surrounding area from its strategic position.

The structure originally included a watchtower cupola on the second story roof, which Baker removed in 1881.
