The Charles Baker Property is a historic house at 119–121 Adams Street in Waltham, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1881-83, probably by the American Watch Company, which then owned the lot. In 1886, the property was owned by Charles Baker, who also owned the house at 107 Adams Street. The house is a well-preserved example of a typical factory worker duplex of the period. Its main facade has a pair of projecting polygonal bays rising two stories, and porches with Stick style decorative bracing on the left side where the unit entrances are located. The house stands on a lot that is the site of what was once the only house in the area when it was farmland.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
