The J. T. Moore house in the historic Oakwood section of Raleigh, North Carolina, was built about 1886 (as a plaque on the house states) or about 1893 as other information indicates. Moore was a cotton broker when he built this compact but asymmetrical wood frame Queen Anne cottage on a brick foundation. There’s a second level bedroom and bath in the 1 1/2 story. The house today is painted blue and white with a complementary gray roof; the roofline is irregular with a dominating front gable over the projecting bay. The gable is ornamented with shingling, alternating between rows of rectangular and fish-scale patterns, each of a different color. The gable also shows a decorative floral-pattern vent. Slender turned posts on the wrap-around porch support the porch roof, decorative bracketing at each post; the porch balusters mimic the blue-white pattern of the posts in neatly done millwork. The side gable to the right shows a window. I neglected to see what view the left side offered. The windows in the bay are 2/2 sash, but to either side the windows are 2/4. The front entry is a single-leaf wood door with bottom panel and a transom at the top. Having been on the market, the house sold in 2011 for $430,000. I’ve not been able to determine with resources available if the house is on the National Register. It should be. Photos date from March 2011 and October 2012.
