Moore House – Lipscomb

The Moore House is a two-story wood-framed dwelling clad in clapboard on the ground floor and shingled above. It has a rectangular plan, hipped roof and full porch. The bulbous porch columns, set on rusticated concrete block bases, are unusual. The house was built c. 1907 and owned by the Moore family from 1914 through the 1960s. Reputedly, the house was built by a Mr. Alvis, developer of the Bellevue subdivision (which he named for his wife, Belle). This has not been substantiated. The Moore House is a contributing resource in the Fairmount-Southside Historic District (local and national).
