The Baker Woodframe Elevator is a historic grain elevator in Baker, Oklahoma. The wood frame elevator was built for the Kimber Milling Company in 1926. The elevator was located along the Beaver, Mead, and Englewood Railroad, which was extended to Baker the same year the elevator was constructed. The railroad shipped wheat harvested in Baker to the Gulf Coast. The elevator operated until 1973, when the railroad ended its service to Baker.[2]

The elevator was added to the National Register of Historic Places on May 13, 1983.[1]
