Robert MacKay Fripp

Robert emigrated to New Zealand about June 1880, at the age of 22, where he trained in Auckland as an architect. In February 1887, he married Christina Nichol. Then, a year later, he took her to Vancouver, British Columbia, where his architectural skills were applied to the massive redevelopment of the city. However, the approaching recession forced him to return to Auckland in 1896. He stayed there for almost 3 years, before returning to B.C., and then onto Los Angeles.

His work has been studied in great detail by Michael Milojevic at the School of Architecture, University of Auckland, who has kindly allowed his research to be submitted on this website. He has published papers and given lectures on Roberts work, and is now researching the work of other Fripp architects, including his uncle, Samuel Charles Fripp, who worked for Isambard Kingdom Brunel.
Abstracts from Michael's work are printed below. He also has a 200 page file available, and would be very interested to hear from anyone with documents or knowledge of any of the Fripp architects.

Robert MacKay Fripp: Peripatetic Architect of the Pacific Rim
Michael Milojevic School of Architecture, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand

When the thirty-year old Robert MacKay Fripp set down in the port of Vancouver in March 1888 it had been some twenty months since the city's catastrophic fire. The city's redevelopment, reaching beyond the burnt foreshore settlement, tackled the almost impossibly rough rock outcrops and stumps to the smooth and orthogonal preparations for architecture.
Fripp was Vancouver's fifth architect, the second Englishman, and only to approach from the Pacific, Auckland to be precise.

One of Fripp's first Vancouver projects, his own house, stood alone (as we see it in an archival photograph) on the bare foreshore of Coal Harbour. Fripp formulated 'an ordinary architecture for extraordinary places' stressing functional (modern) planning and massive, squared and unornamented utilitarian joinery. For thirty years however Fripp's essays and designs for houses (and a few, mainly unrealised, institutional and monumental projects, about 120 items in all, and especially his handful of 'Letters from B.C.' in CAB served, almost alone, to convey to Canadians 'the West Coast scene'. Indeed throughout his life the peripatetic Fripp was an architectural messenger for the Vancouver architectural community: when he first arrived there from the Antipodes and again in 1898 after he retried to establish himself in practice here from 1896, then after returning from London in 04 and in 09 after after a decade of practice in Pasadena.

From the Auckland perspective also he advertised his worldly opinions with reference to his works in America. In this paper I shall outline Fripp's roles and contributions to the advent of the Vancouver house in Canadian consciousness and the 'modern' house in Auckland while clearing up some attribution misconceptions. I will register the Picturesque ancestry of Fripp's notions: from Humphrey Repton and others Fripp affirmed the physical and metaphorical place of the cottage in the rough 'exotic' natural backdrops of ocean and coastal wild Pacific (in this case) landscapes of both Vancouver and Auckland.



Abstract from a one day Symposium: "strident effects of instant sophistication": New Zealand Architecture in the 1890s

Robert MacKay Fripp in the 1890s: Peripatetic Pacific Rim Architect
Michael Milojevic
When the thirty-year old English-born Auckland-trained Robert MacKay Fripp [1857-1917] and his New Zealand bride left the port of Auckland in the late summer of 1888 they were headed for the bustling construction environment of post-fire Vancouver. Leaving his practice with C Paul and his architectural design tutorship at the Auckland Society of the Arts Fripp’s was an astute career move.

In the not quite eight years Fripp was based in Vancouver he built and published almost fifty projects in British Columbia before he escaped the fast approaching Vancouver recession and returned to Auckland in 1896. Attempting to put himself forward for more prestigious commissions in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island [which regularly went to S Maclure] Fripp developed a national profile as an Arts and Crafts aesthete and designer with considerable international experience by publishing his drawings and reporting on the ’West Coast scene’ in the Toronto-based Canadian Architect and Builder.

Among the local-interest articles there, which he consistently turned into a crabby proselytising for the Arts and Crafts, Fripp also placed both appreciative and critical articles and notes on Maori architecture and domestic design and timber and construction in Auckland and even more surprisingly he continued to do so throughout the 1890’s, that is, long after he returned to New Zealand and set-up in partnership with GS Goldsboro in Auckland.

Meanwhile in the thirty-three months Fripp was back in Auckland from 1896 he realised a number of substantive and significant Auckland houses in Parnell, Grafton and Mount Eden. In these works I will show that he can be seen to have brought current ‘progressive’ ideas from the West Coast about strongly-shaped shingled and half-timbered houses simply detailed with heavy timber to stand within the strong ocean coastal conditions.

Fripp left for Victoria in 1899 and after some disappointing [losing the competition for Government House to F Rattenbury] months, during which he posted a scathing report in CAB about house design in Auckland, he moved to Los Angeles renting office space immediately adjacent to the Greene brothers executing and publishing a series of large houses [as yet undiscovered] in and around Santa Monica and Pasadena throughout 1900-1905.

Charles Bowles

Charles was a nephew of Charles Bowles esq. of Little Buckland, Lymington, Hampshire, father of Caroline Anne Bowles, who married the poet, Robert Southey, of Bristol.

Caroline's father mentions in his will, dated October 1800, two nephews, Charles Bowles of Weymouth, Dorset, Gentleman and Reverend Edward Bowles, clerk, sons of his late brother Edward.

Other records show a Charles Bowles Esq Justice of the Borough and Town of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis in 1801.

This is probably the will of Charles:
Will of Charles Bowles, Gentleman of Weymouth and Melcombe Regis , Dorset, 1 February 1823, PROB 11/1666

Charles was an uncle of Rev. George Downing Bowles, who also had a daughter named Caroline Anne Bowles. This Caroline married Sir Robert Strachey.
