Clinton Briggs Ripley (born ca. 1849 in Maine, died ca. 1922 in Honolulu, Hawaii) was an American architect active in Honolulu, Hawaii, from the 1890s until the 1920s. He arrived from California in 1891 at the age of 42, became Commissioner of Patents in 1894, then formed a partnership with a junior but well-connected local architect, C.W. Dickey, during the peak of the building boom in 1896–1900. During the downturn that followed, he briefly headed the Concrete Construction Company, then looked for work elsewhere before settling back in Honolulu in 1910 in partnership first with Arthur L. Reynolds, and then with Louis E. Davis from 1913 until his death. (Reynolds went on to design the Aloha Tower, and Davis went on to design President William McKinley High School and many other notable buildings.)〔Wilcox, Gaylord (1972). (Business and Buildings: Downtown Honolulu's Old Fashioned Block ) ''Hawaiian Journal of History'' 6:16.〕 His early work in Downtown Honolulu was in the then popular Richardsonian Romanesque style, as in the old Central Fire Station (1896, remodeled in 1934), the Bishop Estate Building on Merchant Street (1896), the Irwin Block (Nippu Jiji building) on Nuuanu Street (1897), and Progress Block on Fort Street (1897), the last now occupied by Hawaii Pacific University.〔Neil, J. Meredith (1975). (The Architecture of C.W. Dickey in Hawai‘i ) ''Hawaiian Journal of History'' 9:101-113.〕 Among his other notable buildings were the H.P. Baldwin Home (1899, with Dickey) and Hawaii Hall for the new University of Hawaii (1911, with Reynolds).〔 ==Gallery== Image:Honolulu-Merchantst-Bishop-Estate-bldg.JPG|Bishop Estate Building, 1896 (with Dickey) Image:Punahou Pauahi Hall through leaves.jpg|Pauahi Hall, Punahou School, 1896 (with Dickey) Image:Honolulu-FortStreet-ProgressBlock-corner.JPG|Progress Block, 1897 Image:Honolulu-NippuJiji-bldg.JPG|Irwin Block, 1897 (with Dickey); bought by Nippu Jiji (1895-) in 1923 Image:Hawaii-Hilo-Thomas Guardhouse.jpg|Thomas Guard House, Hilo (with Louis E.
