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.

Library Ceiling Fixture
They don't make them like this anymore. This beauty is the lighting fixture that hangs in the library at Moran Place. There used to be one similar to it in the dining room but it was replaced in the 1970's by Nathan Harrell Moran. The home was built in 1895/1896 so electricity was added in later as were toilets and a bathtub.
