The Baker Woodframe Elevator was a historic grain elevator in Baker, Oklahoma. The wood frame elevator was built for the Kimber Milling Company in 1926. The elevator was located at the intersection of the Chicago Rock Island and Pacific and the Beaver, Meade and Englewood . The railroad shipped wheat harvested in Baker to the Gulf Coast. The elevator operated until 1974, when the railroads ended their service to Baker.[2] No remains of this elevator are evident. It existed just north of another elevator built in the 1970s that still remains.
