Moore's Fort is a twin blockhouse in Round Top, Texas. Built by John Henry Moore in 1828, it is the oldest building in Fayette County.[1] It was originally built in La Grange as shelter for settlers from Comanche raids.[2] It was later moved to Round Top for restoration. A historical marker sits at the original location in La Grange.
