Germantown

In architecture he acquired practical training and experience in draftsmanship in the offices of T. P.Chandler, Day & Hutton, Wilson Eyre, and Wilson Brothers, all prominent architects in Philadelphia. In 1891 Mr. Baily began practice, first in partnership with Arthur Truscott (Baily & Truscott), and from 1904 to 1930 was associated with George Bassett under the firm name of Baily & Bassett. In the latter year he retired to private life at his home at Ardmore, Pa., to devote his time to Ornithology, a study in which he had been deeply interested since college days. Later (about 1935) he moved to Haverford, where he remained until the time of his death at the advanced age of eighty-five. While in practice in Philadelphia Mr. Baily was identified with the planning of St. Chrysostrom's Church, built in 1899, the Episcopal Diocesan Houses (1894), and later the George Wood Building, (1922). He also designed several1 buildings at Haverford, and between 1906 and 1913 buildings at Bryn Mawr.
