The Winona and St. Peter Engine House is a former engine house in Winona, Minnesota, United States. It was built around 1890 by the Winona and St. Peter Railroad, a subsidiary of the Chicago and North Western Transportation Company.[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 for being the sole surviving structure of a railroad shop complex that was a major local employer and a component of the rail network that fueled Winona's economy.[2]
The building continued to function as a locomotive shop until the Chicago and North Western relocated its maintenance operations from Winona. Since 1965, the building has been used as a warehouse[2] and is now occupied by the Fastenal company, based in Winona.
