The Moore's Corner Historic District of Leverett, Massachusetts, encompasses the historic mill village of Moore's Corner. Centered on the intersection of North Leverett Road with Dudleyville Road, Church Hill Road, and Rattlesnake Gutter Road, it includes predominantly residential buildings that were built during the height of the area's industrial activity between the 1840s and 1860s. The architecture is mainly Federal and Greek Revival in style, although the Moore's Corner Church, built in 1896, is Queen Anne in style. One of the most distinctive houses is that of Jonah Hunt at 8 Dudleyville Road, which is Leverett's only temple-front Greek Revival house.[2] The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.[1]
