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.

Ida Morehead Timberlake in her wedding dress
Ida Morehead Moran, known as Teatot, married William Gilmer Timberlake on November 26, 1902, in Dresden Tennessee. They made their home in Jackson Tennessee where Will was a successful Attorney.
Teatot and Will were blessed with a daughter, Dorothy Louise Timberlake, born in 1906 but she died at the age of four on July 15, 1910.
Of the three Moran girls Ida was the best musician. She played piano at many functions and probably got her musical talent from her mother, Sophia Riley Gunn, who was Dresden's music teacher and first organist at the Methodist Church.
Ida died June 25, 1936, from lobar pneumonia.
