Built in 1926, this inter-war apartment building is important as a illustration of the high-quality design and workmanship thought appropriate for a small apartment building at this time. Of note is the tiled entrance porch, ‘Mount Baker Court’ in stained glass in the transom, stained-glass side-lights at the front door, classical columns, and the strapwork on the exterior. It is a valued landmark in the Windsor Park neighbourhood.

The heritage value of Mount Baker Court is its association with its owner/designer, Henry E. Munday, who was well-known in the area proprietor of Munday’s – the 'British Boot Shop’ at 1203 Douglas Street in Victoria. Munday had operated a construction company, working on such buildings as the Legislature and Work Point Barracks; but when this business failed, during the economic downturn of the late 1890s, he turned to the retail business. His interest in building is evident in the quality of Mount Baker Court, and his interest in footwear is seen in the boot-scrapers – rarely seen in Oak Bay – which flank the front entrance.

Mount Baker Court is significant as an indicator of the changing demographics in the area during the 1920s. Windsor Park, which had been heavily promoted by the British Columbia Electric Railway Company, had been purchased by the Municipality, in 1922, as a civic amenity; the Municipality modified its property tax assessment system in 1924, resulting in a building boom; and the transportation system was expanded. As a result Mount Baker Court became a desirable place to live. The building is an important component of the Windsor Park heritage cluster, illustrating the growth of what is one of the most recognizable areas in Oak Bay. The irregularly shaped park, built in 1896 by the BC Electric Railway Company, was considered the finest athletic grounds on the Pacific Coast, featuring professional baseball, a cycling track and grandstands for 2,000 people. It continues to be a popular venue for cricket, tennis and rugby and the starting point for one of the most important events in the local calendar – the Oak Bay Tea Party Parade. The English ambience of the area is further promoted by the Oak Bay Rose Garden, created in 1937.
