Edwin Sherrill Dodge (October 25,1874– December 10, 1938) was an American architect.
Dodge was born into a wealthy family of Newburyport, Massachusetts, the son of the manufacturer Elisha Perkins Dodge and Katherine Searles Gray Dodge. He studied architecture at MIT, graduating in 1897.[1] In 1902, he graduated from the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
In November 1904, Dodge married art patron and writer Mabel Dodge Luhan, then known as Mabel Ganson Evans. Their unconventional marriage is described in her autobiographies Intimate Memories and European Experiences. The couple also appear in Gertrude Stein's The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.
In Arcetri, near Florence, they lived in the Villa Curonia and undertook extensive, expensive renovations that consumed their incomes for years;[2] the house "drank money".[3] They continued to live together, more or less, in Florence until 1911, when Dodge returned to the U.S. and established architectural offices in New York and Boston. After a long separation and scandal, their divorce was finalized in June 1916.
Dodge married Margaret Harrison Child in 1920, and remained married until his death in 1938.
In 1914, Dodge partnered with John Worthington Ames (1871–1954), who had trained at Harvard and at the École des Beaux-Arts. Together, they formed the architectural firm of Ames & Dodge.
