The Schornstein Grocery and Saloon is a commercial and residential building in Saint Paul, Minnesota, United States.

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]
