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.

Hard at Work or Hardly Working
At first we thought this was John W. Moran's rolltop desk which was in his bedroom at Moran Place. However, this desk has a few extra cubby's than the one that we have. It's possible this could've been a desk at the Dresden Bank since the Moran's owned the bank. But then again, maybe not! And then of course that brings us to the people. Who are they? We know the man is not one of the Moran sons, the woman might possibly be one of the Moran daughters.
There's not much to say about this one except it was found among the Moran photographs in Moran Place.
