Architect, of Drogheda. Dodd was born in Dublin in 1845, one of the seven sons by his first marriage of William Dodd. He was articled to CHARLES GEOGHEGAN CHARLES GEOGHEGAN circa 1865 and from 1865-1866 attended sessions of the RIAI's newly formed but poorly supported Class for Architectural Study. He left Geoghegan's office early in 1867 to become second assistant county surveyor for Louth under JOHN NEVILLE JOHN NEVILLE , probably based in Dundalk. This post had to be given up after he was appointed superintendent to the Boyne Canal by the Board of Works in April 1870. By the early 1870s he was living in Drogheda and beginning to establish what developed into a thriving private architectural practice. In April 1874 he was appointed superintendent to the Board of Guardians for the Drogheda Union and later also for the Ardee Union.
Dodd died on 19 January 1892 from the effects of influenza, caught during an epidemic in Drogheda in December 1891. He had married in September 1880 Margaret Mary, daughter of Margaret Curran, a widow, who ran a public house in Peter Street, Drogheda. After his death, Margaret Dodd, who was left with five children, sold the architectural practice to ANTHONY SCOTT ANTHONY SCOTT of Navan.
