Quite a few families were listed as living at Dodds Building, Priestpopple, Hexham, Durham, in the 1851 census. I wondered if perhaps this was a charitable place, a workhouse, a lodging place? I wonder if anyone knows anything about it.
Thank you.

It was very common for properties to be called "*****'s" Buildings, there are numerous examples in the censuses. They were just ordinary houses, and were usually multi-occupancy.

This is from the description of the enumeration district Hexham 16a. You can see they are called
Robert Dodd's Houses
.
