The main house is an I-house.[2] It was "the lifelong home of the county's most well-known and most-beloved minister. During his long career spanning half a century, Brother Moore, as he chose to be called, performed 928 marriages, 1400 funerals, and over 1,000 baptisms. Architecturally, the Reverend Moore House is notable in being a frame "I" house-with-ell, unaltered since 1900. Along with the house is an amazingly intact complex of eleven outbuildings, all frame and all apparently of no later construction than 1900."[2]
