The Henry H. Hodgson Collection consists of travel sketches and watercolors, and architectural drawings. The travel sketches
are from various European locations, and were most likely drawn during Hodgson's eight-month sojourn to Europe and North Africa
in the 1932. [The Architect and Engineer, August 1932] Architectural drawings by this Seattle-based architect (who also worked
in the San Francisco Bay Area) include various residences and his own studio.
Other personal items in the collection consist of three cards written to Hodgson and his wife, and a small print by another
artist.
Henry Harold Hodgson (c 1897-1938) was born in England and attended Oxford College. Following graduation, he moved to Canada
immigrating to the U.S. in 1921. Two years later he married Canadian Eva Chase and relocated to Seattle where he practiced
architecture. In 1931, they traveled extensively around Europe and the Middle East. In the spring of 1935, Henry gave a series
of twelve architecture, sponsored by Cornish College in Seattle, a few months later they moved to San Francisco where he practiced
until his death in 1938.
