Nestled in the heart of Forney, the Dick P. Moore House Plaque stands as a testament to a bygone era of cotton prosperity. This unassuming aluminum plaque, mounted on a pole near the front entrance of the home, tells the tale of a remarkable man named Dick Parmenas Moore. He established himself as a successful merchant in the late 19th century, owning vast tracts of cotton land in the area. In fact, it was during a time of remarkable economic growth in Forney, between 1873 and 1929, that the Dick P. Moore House was constructed in 1910. The home itself reflects the architectural style of the era, showcasing Classical Revival influences in its porch details. The plaque is a poignant reminder of the legacy of Dick P. Moore and his wife, Nancy, who resided in the home until her passing in 1958. It was in 1985 that the Dick P. Moore House earned the distinguished title of Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
