George Baird, ar-
chitect, , ..author and
University of Toronto
professor was guest
speaker at a Christmas
Dinner of the Huron
County Branch of
Architectural, Con-
servancy at the Little Inn
in Bayfield on Thursday,
November 23. Mr. and
Mrs: Baird joined a large
gathering of 56 ACO
members and guests for a
social hour preceding the
dinner.
Seated at the head table
at dinner were Mrs.
Dorothy Wallace, Huron
County ACO president;
Alec MacAlister,
treasurer; Chris Borgal
and Mr. and Mrs. Baird.
Mr. Borgal, a former
student of Mr. Baird
introduced him as a critic
and educator in Canada
and abroad, who prac-
tises his profession in
Toronto.
The speaker's theme
was the relationship of
old buildings to inevitable
new architecture - a
challenge which his firm
has met with a con-
siderable measure of
success. He illustrated
this theme with slides of
interesting attempts by
architects to achieve the
aim of relating past to
present. Some were too
bizarre ever to get off the
drawing -hoard: others
were imaginative and
intriguing successes. Two
examples of the latter
were a restored palace in
Venice which had fallen
into disrepair and sunk so
that the main floor was
under water, and
Franklin Court in
Philadelphia - a cen-
tennial project. There the
remaining bits of rubble
from Benjamin
Franklin's house are
'enshrined' beneath the
outer framework of an
imaginary house,
suggestive of Franklin's
home, but inexpensive,
open spice in a courtyard
though which visitors
wander.
Mr, Baird said that the
interest in architectural
conservancy has oc-
curred as a major new
phenoft enr n in the past
deeade. "We understand

Turning to the work of
his own firm, he
described, again with
illustrations, four un-
dertakings, one com-
pleted, one rejected, one
a disaster and the fourth
presently under con-
struction. Completed is
the rebuilding of a church
erected in 1889 at
Dumbarton near
Pickering. It burned
down on a winter night in
1974, except for the
vestibule and a brick and

resources. the architect
