The Moore House is a historic house in Winchester, Massachusetts. The 1+12-story Gothic Revival house was probably built sometime in the 1840s, possibly by George Moore, a local builder whose family was listed as resident there 1865–1931.

The house is distinctive for having three steeply pitched gable dormers in front, decorated with vergeboard, and for a small mansard-roofed tower added to the rear in the 1870s. The single-story front porch has a flat roof, with a decorative jigsawn valance. [2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. [1]
