The Bowers and McDonald Office Building is a historic structure located in Grinnell, Iowa, United States. J.B. Bowers and M.W. McDonald had the building built as a speculative real-estate venture.

Located in the city's central business district, it was one of the buildings constructed after a fire leveled a portion of the district in 1889.

Its construction is attributed to R.G. Coutts, a native of Scotland who settled in Grinnell in 1873. He was a stone cutter, mason, building contractor, and real-estate developer.[2]

The two-story, brick structure has a main facade of stone veneer, and features Richardsonian Romanesque styling. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[1]
