Biographical history
F.S. Baker was a prominent Toronto architect at the turn of the last century and a proponent of English Renaissance style. He began his career with work in New York and London, where in 1901 he became the first Canadian to be elected fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Returning to Toronto, after various short-lived partnerships, he worked for twenty years on his own, designing many monumental landmark buildings downtown as well as writing critically on contemporary Canadian architecture. In addition to his professional work he held the post of honorary secretary of the Royal Institute of British Architects for Canada from 1906 to 1925 and served as the second president of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada.
