Title: McCarthy Album 09, Photograph 109
Description: Caption: "Bell [sic] Isle Park - Detroit," c.1925. This photograph features the Belle Isle Casino, on the edge of Lake Tacoma on Belle Isle, in the Detroit River. The building is the second structure at the site, built in 1908 to replace a dilapidated wooden structure. The building is not a gambling facility, but is instead called a "casino" in the older sense of the word: a public building for meetings, dancing, reunions, and other recreation.
Contributor: Audrey Fullerton-Samora of Sacramento, great niece of William and Grace McCarthy, donated the William M. McCarthy Photograph Collection to the California State Archives in 1996.
