The George F. Baker High School building is architecturally impressive and historically significant.  It was built in 1931 and given as a gift to the town by Tuxedo Park resident George Fisher Baker, an American banker and philanthropist.  Baker was known as the "American Dean of Banking" and was a cofounder of the First National Bank of the City of New York, which was the forerunner of today's Citibank N.A. By the time of his death, Mr. Baker had amassed such a fortune in banking and railroads that he was estimated to be the third richest man in the United States, after Henry Ford and John D. Rockefeller. The George F. Baker High School building is modeled after the Harvard Business School's Baker Library, which was also funded in large part by Mr. Baker.
