Indianapolis, Indiana, 1882; Minneapolis, Minnesota, 1882-1887; Omaha, Nebraska, 1887-1892; and Portland, Oregon, 1890-1893

Nothing of a biographical nature is known of Isaac Hodgson, Jr., except that he was son of Isaac Hodgson and Mary Ann Edwards Hodgson. He joined his father’s practice, presumably in Indianapolis, Indiana, then became a named partner in the firm by the time they moved the practice to Minneapolis, Minnesota, ca. 1882. Isaac, Jr., opened the Omaha office of the firm in 1887, and then also practiced there as well as in Portland, Oregon, as an individual.[5][6][15][12] In terms of currently available information, he disappears from the scene in 1893.[d]

This page is a contribution to the publication, Place Makers of Nebraska: The Architects. See the format and contents page for more information on the compilation and page organization.
