This 1811 house on the Bake Farm was located on the Great Miami Pike, modern day Cincinnati Dayton Road, on the old stagecoach route north of Monroe. It is the oldest house in what is today's Monroe. It was built by Gus Hinkle in 1811, and has been lived in by five generations of the Bake family who still farm in the area. This house was constructed before Monroe was platted by Nathaniel Sackett and John H. Piatt. The bricks were handmade, and there are many hand-hewn beams in the house. Fine horses were raised on this farm, and were used by the Cincinnati Fire Department. Also, the house was a stagecoach stop where horses could have been changed.</div>
