Pine Street starts on Bloomingdale Avenue at lower right and immediately crosses the Saranac River on Baker Bridge leading to Wallace Murray's large turreted house at 8 Pine Street. Immediately left of Murray's house is Baker's Hotel, the first in the village, and across the street stands the modest building that housed Baker's Store, the first store in Saranac Lake.
