Title
McCarthy Album 11, Photograph 081
Description
Caption: "Lake Dora near Mt. Dora -- Florida, June 26, 1934." View of Lake Dora, near the town of Mount Dora in Florida. Grace McCarthy can be seen standing next to an automobile in the lower left-hand corner of the photograph. Mount Dora, settled in 1874, is thus named because the town sits on a low plateau approximately 184 feet above sea level, an unusual feature in a state whose mean elevation above sea level is 100 feet.
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.
