The Baker Woodframe Grain Elevator is a historic grain elevator in Baker, Oklahoma. The wood frame elevator was built in 1926 along the Beaver, Meade and Englewood Railroad by the Riffe & Gilmore Company. The elevator operated continuously from its opening until at least the 1980s, and has played an important role in the local economy, which is largely dependent on wheat.[2]

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