Title to this property was acquired in 1937 in the name of Eva May Baker, wife of Bernard Ormond Baker. It was planned by New Zealand building contractor C L Baker, believed to be a relative of the title holders. It was also designed by architect Edward JA Weller, with Gordon Gotteridge and Haskins and Davey as consulting engineers. Canadian born Sculptress Marguerite Weller produced three ornamental compressed cement panels for the building. CL Baker was the building contractor for this work.
