Abstract:

The Jesse R. Moye house, located near the intersection of West Fifth and Pitt Streets, was one of the Greenville mansions and has an interesting history. Jesse R. Moye (1858-1935) was a successful merchant and married to Susan Novella Higgs, who at the age 12, was the youngest dancing instructor in America. Designed by Herbert Woodley Simpson of New Bern, NC, the house was built in 1902/1903 in a blend of the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival style popular at the time. Long the home of family descendants, the house was sold to a faculty member of the ECU School of Music and is now known as “The Music House.”
