The Collums-Baker House is a historic house on the east side of United States Route 65, about 0.5 miles (0.80 km) south of Bee Branch, Arkansas. It is a 1+12-story wood-frame structure, with an irregular roof line and massing, set on a block foundation. Its main block has a roof that is gabled on one end, with gable-on-hip on the other, and a lower hip-roofed section to the right, with a single-story hip-roofed ell extending further to the right. A single-story hip-roof porch extends across the main section, featuring turned posts and decorative brackets.

Built in 1907, it is the best local example of the Folk Victorian style.[2] The house shares characteristics with the Art Scanlan House, suggesting both may have the same builder.[3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]
