MANNING Mr. Leroy and Mrs. Johnsie Baker of Sanford. after three years of planning and hard work have now opened their unique home for old home lovers everywhere. This home near Sanford, in Lee County is probably one of the most unusual of it's kind anywhere. Even during the years of reconstruction, there have been over 3.000 visitors from almost every state. Tourists who have been inside the Jones Thomas Home have come from Alabama, Georgia. Texas, Tennessee, Michigan. North and South Carolina and many other states. According to the register of guests, some have come from as far away as California and Alaska. Mr. and Mrs. Baker have spent their lifetime savings plus borrowed money (over $125,000 in all) to bring this dream of a lifetime to reality. The Jones Thomas Home (named such because Mrs. Baker's father was Jones Thomas) speaks of history as far back as January 16, 1683 as one of the 73 authentic copper kerosene lamps made on that date can be seen in the house. The house is built primarily of heart pine lumber from materials which were in the original house, some materials going back almost 200 years. Over one thousand dollars in prizes have been offered by a friend of the Bakers for the most appropriate name for the home as submitted by official visitors. Also prizes will be awarded to the family coming from the furthest distance to visit the house Each visitor is asked to suggest a name and offer comments and impressions formed. The historical background of the home along with the comments and pictures will be combined into a book within the next few months. The Bakers are also developing a brochure for visitors and to be mailed to Historical Societies.
