The Houser House is a historic two-story house in Union City, Tennessee. It was built in 1928 for O. E. Gorton and his wife, Nell Houser.[2] The Gortons raised hogs and cattle on their farm.[2] The Housers were settlers in Obion County; the first member of the family was Anthony Houser, who received a land grant in 1841.[2] The house was sold out of the Houser family in 1989.[2]

The house was designed in the American Craftsman architectural style.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 17, 2002.[1]
