On this spot stood the old garrison of the Kings Mountain Military School, built in 1857 and discontinued in 1886. It was reoccupied in 1909 when the Church Home Orphanage, later known as the Episcopal Church Home for Children, moved to York from Charleston, and it became known as Moore Hall in honor of Major Walter Bedford Moore. The original building was demolished in 1968. Walter Bedford Moore, who lived from 1862 to 1947, served as trustee, business manager, and treasurer, and was a devoted friend and benefactor of this home and its children.
