Baltimore Grand represents a significant historic banking structure located in Baltimore, Maryland, formed by merging two previously separate bank buildings: the Western National Bank (constructed in 1881 and renovated in 1912) and the Eutaw Savings Bank (built in 1887 with modifications in 1911). These buildings were joined together in 1989 and repurposed for use as a commercial catering and banquet venue. Architecturally, the complex is distinguished by a prominent arched window situated above the main entrance portico, which is accentuated by paired fluted pilasters featuring Corinthian capitals that rise to meet the cornice.

The Eutaw Savings Bank structure, crafted in the Classical Revival style from brownstone and originally designed by Charles L. Carson, underwent enlargement in 1911 by the firm Baldwin and Pennington. Additional renovations took place in 1912, carried out by George C. Haskell—a protégé of Carson—and G. Summerfield Barnes.

In 2000, Baltimore Grand earned a place on the National Register of Historic Places.
