During the Railroad Era (1870-1914) in FWE~ County a variety of vernacular houses were constructed. They were also built out of a variety of materials. Surviving examples from this period, however, are somewhat limited. The Moody House is a good example of a one and one-half story, frame, gable entry building. Its roof is covered ~ 9 t h metal, walls clad with wealthehoard and the entire structure rests on a brick pier foundation.

Located at I04 Market &mt, this building was constructed less than three blocks southwest of the Bdd Knob railroad depot. It was constructed c. 1914, and i s still in good condition The Moody House is rectangular in shape wirh chamfered corners; the gable roof extends over these chamfers. The main elevation of the house faces soutk It is dominated by a single-story gabIe mf porch that stretches across three-founh's of the facade. Gable mums on the porch mimr ones found on the facade. The p r c h is supported by box columns. Facade fenestration consists of a paired one- over-one double-hung sash window found in the upper story. A similar window is located on the nortka elevation of the s t r u m . Each chamfered corner is adorned with a single one-over-one double-hung sash window. A similar window is symmetrically placed on the west elevation sf the strucruse.

The only ex~erior addition to the structure is located on the north elevation of the building. It has a shed roof and extends the length of the building between the chamfers, All thee elevations of the addition are fenestrated with single two-over-two double-hung afminum sash windows. The north elevation is also relieved by a single asymmetrically placed door.

When this building was consuucted, c. 1914, it was one of several gable entry buildings built during the R a i M Era (1370.1914). Cumntly, however, it is one of only a handful of such structures which still survives intact in White Cwnty. Hence its eligibility under Criterion C with local significance,

AP. M d y built the house for his father who was a Methcdist evangelist. AS. Mmdy first arrived in Bald b o b somethe b e w n 1904 and 1910; by 1910 he, along with his three sons, were operaring a sawmill that was to become the largest in the area This sawmill used a dinky line to mspm logs from the woods up to the St. LOUIS, h n Mountain and Southem Railroad line. His wife, Mary Wheaton, was the daughter of tee man credited with growing the first strawberries in Judsonia. After his sawmill operation was shut down in the 1930's because of the lack of timber in the area Moody grew the first rice crop in hc community.
