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