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.

Invitation to the May Ball 1890, Dresden TN
This invitation was most likely for Fannie Moran. Several of her Scott and Irvine cousins are listed among the committee members and floor managers. The proofreader in me can't help but notice that the word committee is spelled "comnittee" for the committee on reception.
