Clas was also a partner of a local architecture firm Ferry & Clas. The two architects were responsible for much of the city planning and development that was happening at the time. Clas was a member of City Park Board, and designed the Milwaukee Auditorium and other public buildings.The City of Milwaukee commemorated a park in Clas's name in appreciation of his work as a city planner.
