This amazing structure was designed by architect M. Stead, with a dome at its centre 80 feet high and a lion & unicorn over the main entrance. It was destroyed by arsonists in 1877.  NAME ORIGIN: In 1882 the Moore Family of Three Tree Creek, near Fredericton Junction, inherited a portion of the James Carlisle estate of Belfast , Ireland . This inheritance included shares in the Brookfield Linen Mills: hence the name. FEATURES: As a heritage home, the five apartments have many unique and historic features not found in modern construction. The Moore House was built by Sherman Nason, of Nasonworth and no expense was spared. It had a formal salon and double parlors on the first floor, a library on the second floor, large pocket sliding doors, and  shutters on most windows that  disappear into the lift up window sills .
