The George Washington Baines House is located in the city of Salado, Bell County, Texas. It was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1981[2] and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[3]
George Washington Baines was the father of Joseph Wilson Baines, who was the father of Rebekah Baines, mother of Lyndon B. Johnson.[4] A Baptist minister, Rev. Baines had been president of Baylor University, and traveled for the Baptist State Convention when he built this house around 1866. The Greek Revival style house is a one-and-one-half-story frame structure. The front of the house features a double-door transomed entrance. The porch is supported by square columns. Baines lived in this house from 1870 to 1882.[2][5] Reverend Baines, his second wife Cynthia, daughter Anna Melissa, and son Taliaferro (Tollie) lived at the home.[6]
The Baines House Bed, Breakfast & Beyond Inn formerly operated at the property. It described the home as an "original Greek revival, Texas dogtrot style home with [a] salt box roof".[7]
