The Moores' son Charles inherited the house at his father's death and owned it until about 1900 when it was sold out of the family.

The house is a 5-bay brick I-House in design with Greek Revival interior detailing which is substantially intact.

The original house is unaltered in plan and consists of one room on either side of a central stair hall on each floor.

The form of the house is common in the area but the brick is laid in a bond pattern said to be unique in Jefferson County.

The penciled mortar joints are similar to those at the Presley Tyler House at the Blackacre Nature Preserve and Historic Homestead.
