Baker Building, 1320-1322 F St Washington, District of Columbia, DC
The site of the Baker Building forms part of the low scale commercial area north of Pennsylvania Avenue erected in Washington in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This building is one of three similar commercial structures designed by the local architectural firm of Marsh and Peter. The street facades display the firms` versatility of manipulating traditional architectural styles of the commercial vernacular which dominates F Street between 9th and 15th Streets. This building synthesizes classical elements with an essentially modern commercial design.
