Norman Baker (architect)

Norman B. Baker (1885 – 1968) was a prominent New York architect who worked with the firms of George B. Post and Sons, Delano & Aldrich, and Harrison & Abramovitz.

His work included the design and supervision of construction on major landmarks in New York City.[1] These include Rockefeller Center, the Daily News Building, the United Nations Building, Lincoln Center, and Oheka Castle. Baker also designed and built many Colonial-style buildings on Long Island. His thoughts on the use of Colonial style in 20th century homes were incorporated in his book Early Houses of New England.[2]
