The Fuller-Baker Log House is a historic home located at Grantsville, Garrett County, Maryland, United States. It is a two-story rectangular log home, constructed of log planks about 8 inches (20 cm) thick; some are 14 to 16 inches (36–41 cm) broad and a few are 26 feet (8 m) long. The house has been restored as an artist's studio and is an example of a log dwelling once common on the Allegheny frontier. Maryland's first governor, Thomas Johnson, owned the property when the house was built in 1815, but it is named for two later residents.[2]
