Nothing of a biographical nature is known of '''Isaac Hodgson, Jr.''', except that he was son of [[Isaac Hodgson (1826-1909), Architect|Isaac Hodgson]] and Mary Ann Edwards Hodgson. He joined his father’s practice, presumably in Indianapolis, Indiana, then became a named partner in the [[Hodgson & Son, Architects|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.[[#References|[5][6][15][12]]] In terms of currently available information, he disappears from the scene in 1893.[[#Notes|[d]]]
