This square, nestled behind Staten Island's Borough Hall, honors the island’s eighth borough president and municipal court judge, Edward Grant Baker (1906-1971). Baker possessed a personality that combined a judicial temperament with a zest for life's pleasures. His taste for music and poetry was complimented by a love of fishing and baseball. He also held a deep-seated faith in the workings of the American political system tempered by a longstanding wariness of bureaucracy.
