He was born in Sanbornton in 1851. His education is unknown, but in 1881 he briefly joined with Manchester architect William M. Butterfield.[1] Soon afterward he relocated to Concord, where he became associated with the firm of Dow & Wheeler. In 1882 he was admitted to the partnership, and the firm became Dow, Wheeler & Bodwell.[2] After only a year or two, Bodwell stepped down from his partnership and became the firm's head designer, and so designed many of Dow's major late works.[3]
In June 1892 he left the firm (now Dow & Randlett) and established his own firm, Bodwell & Sargent, with Charles E. Sargent. The firm was locally prominent, and practiced until 1897,[4] when Bodwell moved to Lawrence, Massachusetts,[5] where he became noted as a historian.
As an architect, Bodwell contributed to at least three buildings individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, in addition to at least two works that contribute to listed historic districts.
