Its asymmetrical massing, off-center entry, paired giant-order fluted columns set on the bias and unusual detailing distinguish it. It was also the long-time home of the Captain H.T. Moore family.","narrative":"Built in 1904-05 at 400 W. Denton in Ennis, Texas, the Moore House is a two-story frame residence in the Neoclassical Revival style. It sits on a large corner lot in a residential area northwest of the central business district. The house has a hip roof with gables, wood double-hung windows, and a double-door entrance with transom and sidelights. A porch wraps around a front-projecting wing, with fluted Ionic columns on the first story and fluted Doric columns on brick pedestals rising two stories at the entry bay. Decorative touches include huge paired consoles, a hipped dormer, a roof-line balustrade with urns, garlands on the porch frieze, and grouped modillions beneath the porch overhang. The house was recognized for its asymmetrical massing, off-center entry and unusual use of details, which make it an outstanding local example of its style. It was the home for many years of the Captain H.T. Moore family and remains in residential use in excellent condition.","period_of_significance":null,"architect_builder":null,"architectural_style":"Neoclassical Revival","criteria":[],"status_note":"Present condition is listed as excellent, and the present use is residential.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:21.647566-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/42/9690/40969042/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_TX/86002398.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002398/eefbf4bcce-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/86002398/eefbf4bcce-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Renelibrary","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moore_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Renelibrary</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Moore_House.JPG"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/40969042","wikipedia":null,"wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q110000582"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/texas/ellis-county/moore-house-86002398/"}
