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.

39 The Terrace, Plandome Long Island
Yesterday, I posted a poem by Cornelia Ferguson. Today I continued digging through the tinbox where I found the poem and I came across some more Ferguson family items. I found a picture of an awesome house that was annotated "Ferguson House- 39 The Terrace Plandome L.I." This house belonged to Cornelia's parents, Harry Maxwell Ferguson and Helen Josephine Bozeman who were married in 1930.
It's times like these I really appreciate people who take the time to write on the back of photographs!
I decided to Google the address. Imagine my surprise when I came across the house on Zillow and that it had sold in 2011 for $2,450,000!! Wow.
