The life, times and work of American Architect and Designer William J.

Among the most important architects in the building history of Louisville and Los Angeles, Dodd's residential, commercial and ecclesiastical designs in Chicago, Louisville and Los Angeles are examined through slides of external and internal details, historical newspaper descriptions and collected anecdotes.
