Wilfred Elizur Griggs (1866–1918) was an American architect from Waterbury, Connecticut. Griggs was born in Waterbury on May 2, 1866, to Henry C. and Mary Bassett (Foote) Griggs. He attended the Waterbury English and Classical School until about 1882, when he went to work for the Waterbury Clock Company. In 1884 he began attending classes at the Sheffield Scientific School, in New Haven, receiving his degree in 1887. After, he went to Columbia University in New York, where he studied architecture, graduating in 1889. For the next few years he worked for New York architects, possibly including Charles D. Marvin, a slightly older architect.
