Robert Moore House

Built in 1891, this Queen Anne style home is considered to be the oldest surviving house original to the Mount Pleasant area. Distinctive features include the asymmetrical façade, prominent front-facing bay window, and gable roof. The wood-frame stick-style construction used here was popularly employed between 1887-1895, linking this building to the early development of the neighbourhood.

Its first owner was Robert Moore, a teamster, after whom the house is named on the City’s Heritage Register. More commonly, the building is referred to as the Davis House in homage to the Davis family who resided here between 1973-1985 and who are independently responsible for the 1973-1975 restoration of the building. The family later funded the restoration and protection efforts for several other heritage buildings along this part of 10th Avenue, colloquially known as the Davis Block.
