McCarthy Terrace was a short street — no longer in use — that ran roughly east-west between Shepard Avenue and Church Street, south of the Santanoni Apartments and north of what is now Fortune-Keough Funeral Home in the Helen Hill neighborhood of Saranac Lake. McCarthy Terrace was named after the Presbyterian minister of the day, 1 the Reverend Richard G. McCarthy, who apparently lived in the house in the middle of the block — 8 McCarthy Terrace. From 1924 on, it was just a dead-end lane running west off of Shepard Avenue.
Today's 51 Shepard Avenue (formerly 43 Shepard) — one of the Endicott-Johnson Cottages — faces north rather than east, and originally had a McCarthy Terrace address. Shel Damsky, who lived there, used it as the setting for one of his Saranac Lake novels.
