About the host
Hosted by Veronica
Why they chose this property
The Wisdom House was designed and built in 1878 by John William Wisdom and is currently the oldest home in Baker City, This Historic home still displays its original draperies in the living room and dining room. Mr. Wisdom was an Oregon State Senator and operated the first pharmacy in Baker City. This is a wonderful home so full of history still bearing the worn down steps leading into the home. The story goes that the stone steps are worn down due to the many guest the Wisdom's had in their home. I just love this home!!!
What makes this property unique
The house is decorated with Craftsmen artwork and handcrafted furniture which are available for purchase by local Artisans. It is located in the Historic District in the Heart of Downtown Baker City.
