1912 map shows a grandstand, and two bleachers section on the 1B side. The plot was irregularly-shaped, however, and one bleacher section swung around the angle, and continued down the 3B line. The other bleacher section was adjacent the clubhouse, which sat next to the second bleacher section. The configuration moved the bleachers further back from the action than normal. The park was bordered by Davis Street and the RR tracks.
