The Schornstein Grocery and Saloon is a commercial and residential building in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1884 for $5,000 in the French Second Empire style, and this Dayton's Bluff business was designed by architect Augustus F. Gauger (1852-1929).[2] It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[3][4]

It was built by William Schornstein, "a prominent member of the local German American community," who lived on the premises with his wife Wilhelmina from 1885–1920, running a grocery and saloon. "The establishment was especially popular among the area’s German-Americans and there was a large hall on the third floor for meetings and special events."[5]
