Dora's interesting life story is told in her book "The Lot". After leaving the family farm at age eighteen, she worked as a governess, model, and makeup artist, which sent her on international assignments. The endeavor that gave her the most joy was restoring old homes as well as buying and selling antiques. She received a number of historic preservation awards recognizing her work in renovating the "Pearly Gates Tavern" in Rushville, NY, the birthplace of Marcus Whitman. She relocated to Centre County in 1983, living in Boalsburg where she renovated the Tanner's House on Loop Road and then moving to Linn Street in Bellefonte.
