Albert W. Todd


Albert Wheeler Todd (April 20, 1856 – December 30, 1924) was an architect in Charleston, South Carolina. He is known for his neoclassical architecture (colonial revival architecture), the design on his own home and of a home for Tristram Hyde. Todd was the senior partner at the firm of Todd & Benson which became Todd, Simons & Todd. Joseph F. Leitner worked with him. Todd also served in the legislature from 1910 until 1924 and was as a State Senator.

Todd was born in Anderson, South Carolina. He practiced in Augusta, Georgia before relocating to Charleston in 1899.

Todd's firm Todd & Benson is credited with designing Academy of Our Lady of Mercy, and he is credited with the remodel of a row of older buildings into the Commercial club building (later converted into the Timrod Inn) and (with Albert Simmons) design of the Thompson Memorial Infirmary (later Riverside Hospital).

Todd died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on December 30, 1924. Todd had at least six grandchildren.
