The Bingham Building was constructed for William Bingham to house the Bingham Company, one of the pioneer hardware companies of Cleveland, founded in 1841. The building is said to have been "the largest single unit for wholesale hardware merchandising in the world”. The rehabilitation was comprised of masonry restoration, reinstatement of the north canopy and entry, along with sympathetic replacements of missing fenestration and dock doors. A penthouse was introduced at the roof to provide additional units, a community room and deck.
