Short Homestead, also known as the James Baxter House, is a historic home and farm located near Georgetown, Sussex County, Delaware. The earlier section is dated to the mid-18th century, and is a two-story, three bay, double-pile brick structure. A two-story, two bay frame wing was built in the mid-19th century. Both sections have gable roofs. The house was once the center of a 500-acre plantation. The house was "modernized" in the late-19th century.
The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
