An examination of Baker's work in South Africa. Our presidents live in Herbert Baker-designed houses; the dawn of our democracy was celebrated in front of the Baker-designed Union Buildings. We commemorate our dead at monuments he planned, and marry in churches he designed. His office blocks dominate our city squares, his houses look out from koppies overlooking Johannesburg and Pretoria and up at Table Mountain. Baker's designs and ideas are still relevant, still copied, and his legacy endures.
