Herbert Dewey Mac Rae arrived in Avalon in 1906. The second generation Mac Rae born out of Scotland, he worked as the accountant for the Banning Brothers who owned the island at that time. Following a disastrous fire, the Banning Brothers tried but were unable to recover and sold the island to William Wrigley, Jr. Prior to that sale, the Banning Brothers asked their employees if they would like to buy any land. H.D. Mac Rae stepped up and bought two lots of land on the beach, in the center of town. It was there that he built the Hotel Mac Rae in 1920. Four generations and nearly 100 years later, the Mac Rae family still operates the hotel and welcomes guests to Avalon.
