===Tenney Fire Hall===
The [[Tenney Fire Hall]], listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]], was a small wood-frame building with a bell tower and flag mast, built in 1904. It housed the town's two hand-pulled chemical [[fire engines]]. The rearmost part of the building also contained the town [[jail]]. This building had passed into private ownership, but the city had hoped to reacquire it and perform important repairs, but the building no longer stands. According to the National Register's Inventory-Nomination Form, the Fire Hall was significant for the following reasons:

#"Government functions were often centered in towns, [including] places as small as Tenney with its Fire Hall..."
#"Though of simple metal-sided, frame construction, the diminutive Tenney Fire Hall...is a visual landmark in the small town."

===City Hall===
The City Hall was at 295 Concord Avenue (the town's main north–south street). It was open to the public 24 hours a day and 365 days a year, and visitors were invited to go inside and sign the town's guestbook. City Hall was built in the early 1900s as a community church. Later it was a [[Baptist]] church. From 1914 to 1946 it was the [[Evangelical Association|Evangelical]] church, from 1946 to 1968 the [[Evangelical United Brethren]] church, and from 1968 until closing in 1997 it was the Tenney [[United Methodist]] Church. The building was purchased in 1999 and had been renovated and expanded in 2006 / 2007, but has since disappeared from the landscape.

===The Wheaton-Dumont Cooperative Elevator===
The Co-op had its primary rail terminal in Tenney. In 2003, 20 million bushels of grain were trucked into Tenney from other elevators and shipped out by rail. At that time it was estimated that in 2004 this figure would rise to 32 million [[bushel|bushels.]] The elevator is served by the [[Soo Line Railroad]], which is the United States arm of the Canadian Pacific Railway.
