The Union League of Philadelphia was established in 1862 and the original building was completed in 1865. Two additions were added in subsequent years. The facility houses an Inn, a Health Club, world class dining, historical collections and a library, and other amenities common to a private club. The building is listed in the National Historic Register. Bala has engineered multiple renovations for this facility over the past ten years.
