The Nathaniel Cobb and Lucetia Baily Deering House is a historic residence located in Osage, Iowa, United States. The house served as the residence for a prominent politician. Nathaniel Cobb Deering, for who this house was named, was involved in a variety of pursuits from his native Maine to the California Gold Rush to his adoptive state of Iowa.[2] A Republican, he represented Iowa's 4th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives. He was friends with Hannibal Hamlin, who served as Abraham Lincoln's first term Vice-President, from the time they served together in the Maine House of Representatives. Hamlin reportedly visited Deering here in Osage.[2] The front two-story portion of the brick house built in 1862, and Deering had the back 1½-story section built in 1867. He died here in 1887, and his second wife, Lucetia, died here in 1919. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.
