The Prien Building was a historic building located in downtown Davenport, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] Like the Hoffman Building next door, Mueller Lumber Company across the street and the Riepe Drug Store/G. Ott Block on the 400 block of Second Street, it was torn down in the late 20th century.

Fred J. Prien operated a grocery and provision store in this building in 1874. He operated a saloon at this location by 1880. Prien lived in an apartment above the shop.[2]

The building, along with the Venus News building nearby, was demolished in 1988.[3][4]
