Born in England during his parents' travel abroad in 1865, Woods had a high school education. He joined Clark's office in 1885 and worked his way up to become chief assistant and de facto head of the agency during the last few years of Clark's life. His appointment was greeted with skepticism by the architectural community, but Woods proved to be an effective administrator and was popular in Congress. He died in office in 1923.
