Davis, for the New-York Mirror, engraved by Wm. D. Smith in 1830. Depicts churches, not designed by Davis: Brick Meeting, Beekman St.; First Presbyterian, Wall St., Reformed Presbyterian, Murray St.; South Dutch Church, Exchange St., North Church, William St., and Middle Dutch, Nassau St. Davis worked first as a lithographer and then as an architect. In tandem with Ithiel Town beginning in 1829, he designed a remarkable number of buildings, public structures (hospitals, school buildings, churches, museums, state capitols) and private dwellings alike. Davis embarked on a solo career in 1843, continuing in practice alone for more than 30 years. At one point in his life, Davis claimed to have designed the most buildings of any living American architect. He is best known for Gothic revival designs.
