Abstract (en)

Examines various types of buildings designed by Baker for mining villages on the Witwatersrand in the early 20th c. Places these in the context of the architect's other, better known domestic architecture, relates them to contemporary housing theory, and assesses their importance in relation to Baker's total works in South Africa.
