Henderson Clark Moore Home

Located at 309 First Avenue, N.W., the Henderson Clark Moore house was built around 1835 by William Reeves. It has served as the temporary home of General William T. Sherman during the Civil War as well as presidents James A. Garfield and Ulysses S. Grant. This house was also the last residence of former LSU football coach and SEC Commissioner Bernie Moore, who was married to Anna Clark Moore, daughter of R.A. Clark. It has continuosly been in the Clark family since Mr. Clark and his wife Ellen Henderson Clark first bought the house in 1880.

A citizen group called "Friends of the Henderson Clark Moore House" formed about 6 months ago, and have dedicated themselves to saving this historic home. Headed by Winchester resident Jamie Lamb, the group meets on a regular basis Friday mornings in the Winchester City Hall Annex at 9:00 am. Currently they have received interest from as far away as New York. They are currently in the process of applying for grants and are always accepting donations. The cost to relocate the home is approximately $30,000.
