The George Washington Baines House is located in the city of Salado, Bell County, Texas. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1981.[4]

George Washington Baines was the father of Joseph Wilson Baines, who was the father of Rebekah Baines, mother of Lyndon B. Johnson.[5] A Baptist minister, Rev. Baines had been president of Baylor University, and traveled for the Baptist State Convention when he built this house around 1866. The Greek Revival style house is a frame one-and-one-half-story structure. The front of the house features a double-door transomed entrance. The porch is supported by square columns. Baines lived in this house from 1870 to his death in 1882.[1][6]
