Notes

  • -  Index data: Except for #1-2, these images document the Fred Albert house, located on the property of the Madawaska Historical Society in St.David, ME; 1-2, Welcoming signs at the western edge of Madawaska on U.S. Highway 1; the larger sign in the foreground is permanent, while the smaller sign for the Acadian Festival is temporary; 3-7, Various views of the exterior of the house; the size, shape, and proportion of this house (excluding the porch, a later addition) are representative of a particular style of mid-nineteenth century houses in the study area, many of which are still in use. Typically, these houses have been enlarged and often moved from their original location; this particular house has been moved more than once; 8-15, Details of the porch and railings; it is probable that the porch was a later addition, most likely added when the house was moved and enlarged. Field coordinator Ray Brassieur suggests that the posts and railings are stylistically quite nautical; 16-17, Rear door, with chamfered panels typical of Acadian woodwork; 18, Wildflowers on the grounds outside the house; 19-20, Artifacts in the house; the cupboard and chairs are typical Acadian furniture.
