 The John M. Moore Home was
built by John M. Moore, Sr. and his wife Lottie Dyer Moore at 406 5th
Street in Richmond in 1883. The structure was originally a high Gothic
Victorian home with a domed tower and a straight porch across the front.
The Moores built Lottie's inheritance of 12,000 acres of land and 7,000
cattle into the county's largest ranching operation by the 1890s.
Following his 1905 election, John Moore remodeled the home to a Greek
Revival style. |
T he McFarlane House serves as the
administrative office for the Fort Bend Museum Association. Built in
1882 by architect and carpenter Thomas Culshaw, the house was involved
in the infamous 1889 Jaybird-Woodpecker War. The McFarlane House is not
open for tours at this time. |
 The Long-Smith Cottage
represents a middle-class home in antebellum (before the Civil War)
Richmond. The Greek Revival house was built at 306 Jackson Street, on
property owned by "Mother of Texas" Jane Long. The cottage is furnished
to reflect a typical Richmond household of 1850-1860. Many of the
furnishings are from early Fort Bend County families including Jane
Long. Julia Beale Bassett Smith purchased the property in January 1860.
She, her husband Thomas, and their ten children lived in the house until
1873. |

the George Foundation moved the structure in one piece to the George
Ranch. 
In 1899 The George Ranch House was
constructed on the site of Henry Jones original house. In 1911,
the Georges decided to remodel and expand their home to the present 2
