It was designed in 1890 by architect Wilson Eyre, Jr. for Clarence Bloomfield Moore.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is one of Wilson Eyre's most successful residential commissions and a masterpiece of romantic eclecticism. It is praised for its corner tower, sculptural chimneys, limestone base, and sophisticated brickwork. Its ground plan is cited as an example of adapting a country-house style to a narrow city lot.","narrative":"Designed in 1890 by Philadelphia architect Wilson Eyre, Jr., this three-story brick house with a raised basement and attic occupies a corner lot at Locust and Juniper Streets, with only about twenty-six feet of frontage on Locust Street. A large circular tower with a tall pointed roof gives the corner its emphasis, while two massive chimneys are treated as sculptural features. The house rests on a lightly rusticated limestone base, and its brickwork includes long, narrow Pompeiian brick and a patterned belt course beneath the third-story windows. Pointed and ogee arch windows and a steep slate roof reflect the Romantic Eclecticism style. The house was built for Clarence Bloomfield Moore, a Philadelphia merchant, traveler, and amateur archaeologist. Its ground plan shows how Eyre adapted a country-house style to a long, narrow city lot. A pen and ink rendering of the house was shown at the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago.","period_of_significance":"1850-1899","architect_builder":"Wilson Eyre, Jr. (architect)","architectural_style":"Romantic Eclecticism","criteria":["C"],"status_note":"Presently unoccupied; plans were underway for use as a school location at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":true,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:29.351008-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_PA/73001664.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001664/372de707c0-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/73001664/372de707c0-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Jack Boucher","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ClarenceBMooreHouse.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Boucher</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:ClarenceBMooreHouse.jpg"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"84003529","name":"Broad Street Historic District (Additional Documentation)","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/pennsylvania/broad-street-historic-district-additional-documentation-84003529/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71997046","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_B._Moore_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q5126385"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/pennsylvania/philadelphia/moore-clarence-b-house-73001664/"}
