Moran Place is located in Dresden,TN. Built by John Williamson Moran for his wife Sophia Riley Gunn. The house used a modified design of George Barber's Cottage no. 36 from his Cottage Souvenir Book No. 2. Construction began in 1895 but was put on hold when Sophia Moran became ill. She died Oct. 7 1895. A few months after her death construction resumed. This blog is about the history of the Moran family & their life at Moran Place. Money is fleeting, History is forever.

Mournful Man
We aren't sure who this man is but his image is so striking that I felt he deserved to be the first blog entry. We think he's from the Shumate side of the family but until we get more information about him we simply call him the Mournful Man.
