The Bingham House<\/strong> was located at 11th and Market Streets and built in 1867 by John Crump. It was his fourth hotel following the erection of the third Chestnut Street Theater at 1211 Chestnut Street, The Union League at Broad and Locust, and The Colonnade on the southwest corner of 15th and Chestnut.<\/p>\n
