Historical History -
The Bingham House Hotel was known for its upper class status and hospitality, but it also received attention as being the location of the country’s first violation of the Civil Rights Act of 1875. In January of 1876 African American reverend Fields Cook asked for a room and was denied on the basis of his skin color. Following his denial, Cook watched numerous white guests receive accommodations that same evening. Cook brought the case to court and won, as the hotel clerk violated the Act. Despite this case, the hotel’s business continued, but stood as the location for a historic legal decision.
