Additional Comments
This two and one-half story simple Queen Anne house has a steeply-pitched intersecting gable roof, an irregular plan, limestone foundation, and single light sashes. The first story is covered with clapboards, while the upper stories are covered with wood shingles. The front porch has simple square wood columns and simple balustrade.

This house is a good example of a simple variation of the Queen Anne style.

This was the home of Edward Beeson, a physician, between 1893 and 1897. It was the home of Fred and Josephine Moore between 1903 and 1942. Fred Moore was an executive of the Moore and Galloway Lumber Company.

Initial research indicates that the occupants of this house are not historically significant.
