Moor Green

Moor Green is a two-story brick house with five bays and a central passage plan topped by a standing seam metal gable roof. The structure displays the clean lines and balanced proportions typical of Federal architecture from the late 1700s.

The property originated as part of a large plantation before passing to new owners in the late 1700s. It remained in private hands through the following centuries, changing ownership multiple times.

The Historic American Buildings Survey documented this Federal period residence during the Fletcher family ownership in the Great Depression era.

The house sits along a rural road north of Brentsville and is accessible via State Route 692. It remains a private residence, so visitors should view it from the road while respecting the property and its current occupants.

After a severe fire in the mid-1980s, the house underwent major restoration with help from local supporters who believed in saving the structure. The successful reconstruction brought it back to use as a home and showed how community support can save historic buildings.
