According to the archive out in California, Ed Fletcher was a noted San Diego land developer, civic leader, and member of the California State Senate. It looks like his family had a weekend/holiday/vacation retreat at Cuyamaca Lake where these pictures were taken. The picture span the time period ca. 1915 into the 1960s.
