Sidney B. Moeur, son of W. A. Moeur and a nephew of B. B. Moeur, began his career as a teacher in Tempe's Public school system, then became an instructor in education at Tempe State Teacher's College (now ASU) in 1917-1918. After a decade as a businessman operating large farms and growing livestock, he was admitted to the State Bar in 1938 and entered private practice. He also served a term on the State Legislature, was an attorney for the Home Owners Loan Corporation, and in retirement worked for the U.S. Brewers Foundation. He lived in the residence until 1925.

This building represents an excellent, intact example of the Craftsman Bungalow style with its wrap-around veranda, massive porch posts of wood and cobblestone; bracketed eaves; and lattice attic vents at the gable ends.
