Ballparks
Known as the "Frank Lloyd Wright of baseball," Davis was one of the first architects to design ballparks with innovative steel-beam and concrete construction. Prior to his design of Comiskey Park, Chicago ballparks were wooden structures with minimal capital investment. This allowed both Chicago teams to move frequently, and also meant that demolition of the old parks was inexpensive. Davis's designs and their more solid construction ended this trend in Chicago.
When Comiskey Park needed to be expanded, in part to accommodate fans of the visiting Babe Ruth, Davis oversaw the renovations. He also oversaw expansion of Wrigley Field in 1922.
