The car was lighter than other electric cars and used twelve lead acid batteries designed by Thomas Edison who famously drove a Baker. In New York City\, there were 15\,000 on the streets and charging stations scattered throughout the area. Cleveland architect Frank B Meade designed the Baker Electric Building for Walter C Baker as his car showroom in 1910. Rohrheimer-Brooks\, Cleveland’s top interior design studio\, designed and decorated the showrooms and associated spaces. Faced with competition from gasoline-powered automobiles production ceased in 1919. The building was listed on the National Register for Historic Places in 2007 and was redeveloped into a LEED Silver certified tech incubator providing 52\,000 square feet of office and wet/dry laboratory space for emerging local companies. In 2010\, the city of Cleveland installed the city’s first public electric vehicle recharging station. \nHere is a video with Jay Leno showing off the Baker Electric from his collection. \nSpeaker Biography: \nEric Rivet\, Curator WRHS \nEric Rivet has been a Curator of Collections and Exhibits at the WRHS since 2015. His responsibilities include planning and installing exhibitions that highlight the rich and diverse history of the region.
