Barker General Store is a historic general store located at Beecher Hollow in Saratoga County, New York. The main block was constructed in 1847 and is a -story, gable-roofed rectangular building. A 2-story, shed-roofed addition was added in 1870. It features a tall portico supported by four Tuscan order turned wood columns. It is an example of transitional Federal / Greek Revival commercial architecture. A concealed area is believed to have served as a hiding place for escaped slaves being transported on the Underground Railroad. See also: Read more on Wikipedia
