City Directories and History: Nathan Moore was a well known artisan in the Bethesda community during his lifetime of service. Not only did he own and perhaps build this dwelling but he was the chief contractor of Bethesda Presbyterian Church. The census has him living next to Dr. John S. Bratton (Historic Brattonsville) and later another two Moore Home were constructed in the community. It is believe that Mr. Moore worked extensively with other artisans including Richard “Ritchie” Strait, Abner Stewart and others. It has been reported that his son-in-law was Jedi Coulter, also a fine home builder in the region.
This dwelling was destroyed by fire in the 1970’s.
