From the field
The grand wrap-around porch is definitely one of the most important architectural features of the Moran House. In traditional Southern home design, these wide, covered porches were engineered specifically to catch the cross-breeze before modern air conditioning was ever invented. Richard spent countless hours over the years making sure the foundational columns holding up the porch roof remained structurally sound and perfectly level. It is a beautiful and highly functional piece of Dresden history that we cherish.
