Records date this house to 1895. However, the current footprint does not match the building footprint drawn on 1899 fire insurance maps. Lot 50 was owned by Edwin and Katherine Moore from 1890 until the 1940s. Edwin was a cutter at the Wilson Brothers shirt factory and later was a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. Katherine emigrated from Bavaria.
