Ripley, Hubert G.

RIPLEY & BOUTILLIER, of Boston, Mass., are credited with the design of a single work in Canada, that for St. Stephen's Anglican Church, 4th Avenue, GRAND MERE, QUE., 1924 (Continuite [Quebec], No. 49, Winter/Spring 1991, 49, illus.). Hubert G. Ripley was educated at the Massachusetts Inst. of Technology and trained under Daniel Burnham in Chicago in 1890-92. After returning to Boston he became chief draftsman for Peabody & Stearns, a leading New England firm. After 1920 he formed a partnership with A.B. Boutillier in Boston but they appear to have executed only one commission in Canada noted above. Ripley died in Boston on 15 December 1942 (obit. Boston Herald, 17 Dec. 1942; Octagon-The Journal of the American Inst. of Architects [Washington], Feb. 1943; inf. Paul Trepanier, Quebec City).
