The Winona and St. Peter Railroad Freight House is a former freight house in Winona, Minnesota, United States. Built from 1882 to 1883, it is the city's last surviving freight facility of the Winona and St. Peter Railroad.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984 for having local significance in the theme of transportation.[3] It was nominated as a symbol of the Winona and St. Peter Railroad, which was instrumental in spurring Winona's industry and growth by developing markets along its rail lines across Minnesota and into Dakota Territory.[2]

Jefferson Pub in 2017

Through mergers and acquisitions, the building continued to serve as a railroad office and freight house until 1961.[2] As of 2017 the west end of the building houses the Jefferson Pub & Grill, which keeps vintage railroad photographs and memorabilia on display.[4]
