The National Union Bank of Maryland began as the Union Bank of Maryland, chartered in 1804 and housed in a Robert Cary Long-designed building at Charles and Fayette Streets in Baltimore. It converted to a national charter in 1865 (Charter #1489) and by the mid-1870s held capital exceeding $1.25 million.
President W.W. Taylor came from a prominent Baltimore mercantile family, having served as a director of the Merchant's Bank before joining the Union Bank board in 1861. Cashier Robert Mickle's tenure was remarkable — he held the position from at least 1841 through 1885, spanning more than four decades across both the state and national bank eras.
