With elements dating to the early 1740s, it is one of the oldest surviving structures in Mid Coast Maine.

[1] The John Moore House stands in a rural part of northern Edgecomb, on the east side of Cross Point Road.

The house is a connected farmstead, with a 1-3/4 story main block, and an elongated 1+1⁄2-story ell joining it to a barn.

The main block has a central chimney, and its facade is five bays wide, with a center entrance framed by sidelight windows and a cornice above.

In the late 19th century, the house was owned by William Manson Patterson, a ship's captain.
