Scope and Contents

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.
