The Fairfax-Moore House, in the heart of the Alexandria Historic District, is a classic example of an eighteenth century Georgian side-passage-plan dwelling. With its three and a half stories and long service wing, it exemplifies the type of home enjoyed by the city's most affluent citizens. The house retains much of its early woodwork. Architecturally, the building appears to date to the mid-1780s when the lot was owned and developed by John Harper, a sea captain from Philadelphia.
