Summary

Description
English: The Colonel Hugh B. and Helen Moore House (1912) is a 2 1/2-story brick hipped roof building facing south on 9th Avenue in Texas City on the western shore of Galveston Bay. The house largely follows the Prairie School style popular in the early 20th century. The James Steward Company of Chicago constructed the house at the request of Colonel Moore while completing wharves in Texas City. The Steward Company completed an elaborate building using railroad rails for concrete reinforcement, 14-inch thick brick walls, and all load-bearing walls placed on individual foundations. The original house was remodeled at the direction of Colonel Moore with the recommendations of Stowe and Stowe Architects in 1929 and again completed to design by the Steward Company. Two additional buildings, a 2-story stucco garage apartment and 1-story storage unit, are Contributing elements to the site. The Colonel Hugh B. and Helen Moore House is a 2 1/2- story brick building occupying Lots 13, 14, 15, and 16 of Block 349 in Texas
