The Bressmer-Baker House is a Queen Anne style house at 913 6th Street in Springfield, Illinois. Hiram Walker built it in 1853, and after several changes in ownership, William B. Baker bought it in 1889 and commissioned Charles Wesley Shinn to redesign it. Shinn's design includes a copper-domed turret on the southeast corner, the only one of its kind in Springfield. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
