A detached garage built before 1923 stands at the rear of the lot.","why_significant":"The nomination argues the house is significant for its association with Jesse Rountree Moye, a merchant and civic leader in Greenville for nearly forty years. It is also argued to be significant as a largely intact early twentieth-century house designed by New Bern architect Herbert W. Simpson, combining Queen Anne massing with Colonial Revival detailing.","narrative":"Built in 1902 in Greenville, the Jesse R. Moye House is a two-and-one-half-story frame dwelling in the Queen Anne style with Colonial Revival details. New Bern architect Herbert W. Simpson designed it for Moye, a merchant who with his brother ran the J.R. & J.G. Moye firm, formed in 1902 after the brothers acquired the Cherry interests. The house occupies a lot in Skinnerville, the city's first suburb, west of the commercial district. Its wraparound porch carries Doric columns, and the roofline features hip, gable and cross-gable forms with dormers. Interior features include a central hall with a Victorian hall screen, three-flight staircases, oak flooring and seven fireplaces with Colonial Revival mantels. Moye also served on the school board, as a trustee of Saint Paul's Methodist Church, as a bank director and in helping to organize the Greenville Cotton Mill. The house is regarded as one of the most intact early twentieth-century houses in Greenville and Pitt County.","period_of_significance":"1902-1935","architect_builder":"Herbert Woodley Simpson (architect)","architectural_style":"Queen Anne; Colonial Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"The house is occupied by its current owner, who has updated mechanical systems while retaining original woodwork and configuration; the original slate roof has been replaced with shingles.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-haiku-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.1-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 17:11:42.308756-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/opastorage/live/7/7218/47721807/content/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_NC/97001220.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97001220/6f021b4310-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97001220/6f021b4310-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Tradewinds","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Jesse_R._Moye_House.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Tradewinds</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:Jesse_R._Moye_House.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"07000092","name":"Dickinson Avenue Historic District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/north-carolina/dickinson-avenue-historic-district-07000092/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/47721807","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_R._Moye_House","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q19987237"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/north-carolina/pitt-county/moye-jesse-r-house-97001220/"}
