    Caption: "Mirror Lane - Camp Curry," c. 1917. William and Grace McCarthy pose in front of their tent at what was then called Camp Curry. Yosemite's Half Dome Village, established by David and Jennie Curry in 1899, was originally called Camp Curry, and then later Curry Village. It was designed to provide cheaper accommodations for Yosemite tourists than the resort hotels. The couple rented out furnished tents and provided amenities such as a dining tent. As time progressed, the amenities increased, and some hard-sided cabins created.
