Clifton A. Hall (1826-1913) was an American architect from Providence, Rhode Island.

Biography

Hall was born in Boston to Charles G. Hall, an architect, who had come to Boston in 1820. Hall first appears to have worked with architect George M. Dexter, and was the builder of Dexter's 1847-48 block of houses at 92-99 Beacon Street. Hall afterwards entered the employ of his father's firm, C. G. & J. R. Hall. He first came to Providence in 1850, to supervise the construction of that firm's What Cheer Block. In 1855, he established a partnership with architect Alpheus C. Morse in the firm of Morse & Hall. Their only known built commission is the Merchants Bank Building in Providence, as the firm only lasted for a few months. He practiced alone until 1884, when he made Charles R. Makepeace partner, in the firm of Hall & Makepeace. That firm was dissolved in 1886. From then until his death, he practiced alone. He was highly regarded in his lifetime as an architect of churches, private residences, and mills.
