Louis E. Davis (1884–c. 1962) was an American architect who designed homes and public buildings in Honolulu, Hawaii.[1] During the 1920s, he was involved in laying out the new King Street campus of President William McKinley High School and designing its buildings in a Spanish Colonial Revival style.[2] He employed a similar style (Mission Revival) in designing the 1931 Honolulu Police Station on Merchant Street,[3] which harmonized well with that of the new city hall, Honolulu Hale. Both the old McKinley campus quadrangle and the Merchant Street Historic District are on the National Register of Historic Places.
