The Barnum Hotel, also known as the Hotel Grand, is a four-story American Renaissance Style building completed in 1914–1915 in Medford, Oregon. Designed by noted southern Oregon architect Frank Chamberlain Clark and built at a cost of $75,000 in the heart of Medford's railroad district, it was commissioned by William S. Barnum, owner of the Rogue River Valley Railway Company, to serve railroad travelers and local residents seeking modest accommodations. The building changed hands multiple times after Barnum's sale in 1927, operating as a hotel until 1980. It was converted into low-income apartments in 1984 and later refurbished as Grand Apartments under ownership by the Housing Authority of Jackson County beginning in 2009. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984, it stands as a significant example of early-twentieth-century commercial architecture in southern Oregon.
