Biography Tippett was 31 years of age in 1860.

Tippett was active in the Paddington area in the 1860s, by now a wealthy builder who around this time was constructing a substantial number of sizeable terrace houses in Leinster Square, Prince's Square, and elsewhere in the vicinity of Paddington.

In 1885 Tippett was declared bankrupt. He attributed his failure to "his inability to let a large portion of his property and to the pressure of secured creditors". Gradually the character of the buildings declined as wealthier tenants left the area.
