In 1883, Field opened his practice in the city of Providence. In 1902, he took his head draftsman, Harry A. Slocomb, as partner in Field & Slocomb.[2] This firm was dissolved in January 1904, with both returning to independent practice.[3] In 1907, he joined noted architect
Howard Hoppin (1856–1940) in the firm of Hoppin & Field. This, in turn, became Hoppin, Field & Peirce in 1922, when Thomas J. Hill Peirce joined the firm. This firm was soon dissolved, and the partners went their separate ways. By the mid-1920s, Field had moved to Orlando. He had opened his own practice there by 1926.[4] In 1927,
Charles E. Choate, who had been in Orlando since 1925, took him as partner in Choate & Field.[5] This firm appears to have dissolved soon afterward, as Choate moved to
Birmingham that same year.[6] The 1929-1930 Providence House Directory shows that Field had returned to Providence. By the time of his death in 1931, Field was once again practicing in Providence.[7]
Field was received into the College of Fellows of the
American Institute of Architects in 1889.[8] Field was a member of the Rhode Island Chapter of the AIA from 1888 - 1916,[9] and served as its Vice-President for some period of time circa 1910-1911.[10]
