Career

Albert Hamilton Kipp was born in New York City on November 14, 1850,[1] but grew up at Mount Pleasant, New York where his step-father, Elijah Bird, worked as a carpenter.[2]

Kipp worked for a few years in New York, before moving to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania in June 1886. He joined forces with Thomas Podmore in December 1886 to form the architecture firm Kipp & Podmore,[3] but the firm dissolved by mutual consent at the end of 1891.[4]

Kipp died at Dallas, Pennsylvania in 1906, and was buried in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery at Sleepy Hollow, New York.
