The Emilie and Stephen Schumacher House is a historic home located in St. Peter, Minnesota, United States. Designed in the Queen Anne style, it was built for a local merchant named Stephen Shumacher and completed in 1887. The home was designed by Henry Gerlach, a Mankato-based architect who designed many residential and commercial buildings in the surrounding area.[1]

After being passed on to the Schumacher's descendants the home was sold in 1967 (though it remained a private home). During the 1998 Comfrey–St. Peter tornado outbreak the home was badly damaged including the complete loss of the home's turret, roof and porch. In a yearlong restoration project aided by the Minnesota Historical Society the home was meticulously restored.[2] The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 as an excellent local example of a Queen Anne style home.[1]
