His painting, "A Pleasant Day at Lake George" hangs in the Adirondack Museum at Blue Mountain Lake, New York. Baker also had a studio in the Knickerbocker Building in New York City. His paintings were created using oils and watercolors, including several works done in black and white. One of his masterpiece paintings, Morning After the Snow, sold for $5000 in 1887 (the equivalent of about $109,000 in 2006 dollars). Morning and an additional 129 of his paintings sold at that auction for a combined total of nearly $15,000 (almost $360,000 in 2010 dollars).
