Fenway Park's exterior, photographed in September 1914, shows the ballpark just two years after it opened in 1912 as the home of the Boston Red Sox. The park was built on the Fens, a reclaimed marshland near the Back Bay, and its brick-and-steel facade reflected the early-20th-century push for sturdy, fireproof stadiums. The photograph comes from the George Grantham Bain Collection, a set of news photographs that documents daily life in American cities during this period. The record's older phrase "ball grounds" is a reminder of how baseball venues were still being named and understood at the time.
