The home that formerly occupied the ground at 846 Turnpike Street, Beaver, Pennsylvania was built by Robert Moore in 1808. He later was a General in the War of 1812 and, as a Civilian was a practicing attorney. After his death in 183 1, the home was occupied by Daniel and Elizabeth Moore Agnew. Daniel Agnew for whom the Beaver Square occupied by the Court House was named, became the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. The Beaver Area Heritage Foundation erected a historical marker on Agnew Square on July 4, 1972 honoring Beaver's most renown citizen.
The home built by Robert Moore and occupied by his Son-in-Law Judge Agnew from 1831 until his death in 1902 was one of charming Colonial design. It was sturdily supported by an 18 inch thick Sandstone Block Foundation. The beams and joices were of hand hewn lumber.
This comfortable old home with its large airy rooms and solid feel was demolished in 1970 when the Beaver County Court House expansion plans so mandated.
