This house is built of logs and the outside has been weather boarded. The front door has been replaced with a modern door. The other doors are of up and down boards, made in the old time manner, with old butt hinges and door latches. There are seven rooms, four up and three down. The stairway is enclosed and of the winding type. There is one fireplace, which is in the first room. Doors, windows and fireplace are surrounded with plain moulding. The chimney goes up from the end of the house and is built of rock.

This was the first house built in Moore's Store. The roof is shingled and has been re-shingled as needed. Along the creek mentioned in this history, a tribe of Indians used to camp. The tribe name is not known.
