Another early and long-time resident of Cliff Bungalow was Bertram C. Binning. He built this house for approximately $3,500 in 1909-10, and lived in it until his death in 1945. Binning had moved to Calgary in 1900 from Listowel, Ontario to set up a dry goods business with his brother. By 1932 he owned a successful ladies' wear business, Binnings Limited, with a store downtown in the converted Tribune Building, known as the Binnings Block.
