Meramec Highlands was a popular resort on the Meramec River in Missouri at the turn of the century. This photograph is dated Sept. 1899 and has the names of Wellford, Blanch and Lucille on the back. The sentiment "May you never forget us" is also written on the back. Sadly, without a last name to go by we have no way of knowing who these three children belong too!
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.
