The Deering Building is a historic three-story building in Union City, Tennessee. It was built in 1891 for the Deering Harvester Company.[2] In 1905, its general manager, R.F. Tisdale, purchased the building and it became the headquarters of Tisdale's Grain, Field Seeds, and Implements, "the largest dealer of farming supplies in West Tennessee."[2] By the 1940s, tobacco wholesalers W.P. Alexander, Sr. and C.E. Jones used the building for their enterprise.[2] By the 1980s, it was used by several businesses.[2]
The building was designed in the Victorian architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 25, 1983.[1]
