The front porch had exotic columns and a carpenter Gothic rail. Period photographs suggest a high Victorian paint scheme. Moore was elected to the U.S. Congress in 1905 and the house was remodeled in a new Greek Revival style/Colonial style by Page and Company of San Antonio over the next few years. Some of these changes have been removed, notably two semicircular porches now replaced with a screen porch. The foundations and roof construction reveal evidence of the 1883 house and the later modifications...
