Born in Limerick, he studied under his father, engineer John Fogerty in Limerick before entering the University College London in 1856, later working in London for Sir John Fowler.[1] He was elected Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects on 9 February 1880 after being proposed by Henry Currey, Edwin Nash and Charles Barry.[1] Three of his novels, Lauterdale, Caterina and Countess Irene, were published.
