Description: The Moore House in Seguin, Texas, United States was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1981. Marker text reads: "John Moore (1866-1909), a native of Ireland, was an early Seguin newspaperman and civic leader. Through family ties, he was also a friend of Rough Rider and U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt. In 1895, a year after his marriage to Kate Peck (McClaugherty) (1871-1943), Moore constructed a three-room frame house at this site. In 1900 he commissioned John Goodrum to build the present Queen Anne residence, incorporating the earlier structure. The home was later occupied by Moore's descendants, including his son Roger (1902-1965), who served as mayor of Seguin for 22 years."
