Received degrees from Harvard and Washington (St. Louis) Universities. With Garriott & (Hubert M.) Becker 1931-1941 and 1949-1963; Garriott, Becker & (Henry A.) Bettman 1942-1948. Becker is best known as the husband of cookbook author Marion Rombauer Becker (her mother, Irma Rombauer, who first produced The Joy of Cooking, was from St. Louis), with whom he collaborated after retiring ca. 1964. Locally, however, he was noted for his subtle early Modern residential designs, as well as his interest in progressive education and other concerns. Many of the firm's drawings, including some by earlier architects, are preserved at the Cincinnati Historical Society Library.
Becker was for 25 years on the board of the Cincinnati Art Museum, which his firm altered after World War II; most of his firms' Modernist interventions have since been undone.
Parents : Philip Becker and Adele Dittman
