== [[Endicott Period]] ==
Originally built as an [[Endicott Period]] concrete coastal gun battery with two 4.72" British Armstrong guns mounted on Armstrong carriages. This is a two story battery with the guns located on the upper level and a single common magazine located below. No shell hoists were provided. Electrical power for lighting was provided from [[Battery Jasper]].

== [[World War I]] ==
{{WWICoastalGuns}} The guns of Battery Bingham were not removed during the [[World War I]] redistribution program but were caught in the 1920 disarmament program.
They were approved for scrapping 22 Jul 1919 and eventually were donated to civic organizations in Paducah, Kentucky and Burlington, North Carolina.
== Current Status ==
Battery is in good condition. One period gun and mount in place (not the original).
