The former Eutaw Savings Bank is a Classical Revival brownstone, built when the bank vacated the Baltimore Equitable Society Building across the street. The original building was designed by Charles L. Carson. A 1911 addition was designed by Baldwin and Pennington.[3] Further alterations were carried out in 1912 by the firm of George C Haskell, a Carson protégé, and his partner G. Summerfield Barnes.[2]


Baltimore Grand was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.[1]
