These ATVs are quite common in the study area, and are used for both pleasure riding and work; Danny sometimes helps out around the farm with his, hitching up a small trailer and clearing rocks out of the fields; 10, Newly planted potato fields on Herman's farm; 11, The Deprey farmstead; the house is occupied by Herman's father Mac and mother Blanche; 12, Barn on Paul Freeman's property on State Highway 11 in Wallagrass, ME; the long curve of this barn's roofline, which Freeman says he designed himself, is atypical; 13, Freeman's house and barn; 14-15, Freeman's house, probably built in the late nineteenth century; Freeman termed the construction madrier. which could mean either log or plank. The proportions and roofline of this house are quite typical of the study area, as is the outside cellar entrance.

These images document the interior roof structure of Paul Freeman's barn on State Highway 11, Wallagrass, ME. Freeman designed the barn himself; 1, Roof supporting trusses, unusual in the length they run perpendicular to the rafters; 2-7, Various photos of rafters and supports; see MAP-DW-C007 for more information about rafters; 8, Basketball backboard and hoop on second floor of barn; These images are of various buildings in Fort Kent, ME; 9, Office of Eagle Oil in downtown Fort Kent. Eagles are a common decorative motif in the study area. The Daigle family was one of the original Acadian families to settle in the area, and Daigle remains one of the more common names (French d'aiale translates as of the eaglet. See #12-13 below; 10, The rear of some of the buildings on the south side of Main Street, downtown Fort Kent (taken by Ray Brassieur); 11, House near downtown Fort Kent (taken by Brassieur); 12-13, House with decorative eagles in the village of Daigle, ME. This house is next to the store of Conrad Daigle, who is the only person in the study area whom I heard say that there was a connection between such eagles and the name Daigle; 14-16, Grave markers in the cemetery in Daigle. Flowers and religious statuary are quite commonly used to decorate graves; 17, Looking toward the village of Daigle from the cemetery; These images document structures in the Village Acadien, which has a National Register of Historic Places designation as a collection of buildings, in Van Buren, ME. All of the buildings have been moved to the site; 18-19, The Roy house, an eighteenth century log house; this house was disassembled, moved to the Village Acadien, and reassembled. However, it appears that the reconstruction is not precise; the house was built using piece-sur-piece logs with dovetail joinery, and the dovetails may have been sawn off during disassembly; 20, The Morneault house, typical of mid-nineteenth century houses of the study area; not visible is a small addition of the far side of the house. | |||||||||||||

These images document a house and barn on the property of Roland Perrault in Wallagrass, ME; 1, Mr. Perrault (left) and field coordinator Ray Brassieur (right) in front of Perrault's barn (identity of third person in center unknown); 2, View of Perrault's barn from the northwest corner. The form of this barn— relatively small, no side pens, and a simple gabled roof— was probably used in barns constructed early in the French settlement of the study area. However, the materials in this barn (e.g. millsawn lumber and round machine-made nails) mark it as an early twentieth (or possibly late nineteenth) century example; 3, View of the barn from the west side, towards the main road (State Highway 11); the small window near the peak of the roof would have been used for loading/unloading; 4, Sliding doors in the side of the barn through which equipment and livestock could be moved; there is also a set of doors in the opposite side, and arrangement common in the study area; 5-6, Sliding mechanism on barn door; each door had four small iron wheels, two per side, which rolled across the iron guide piece; 7, View of barn from the southeast corner. Note the use of shakes on the bottom half of this wall, which is on the side enclosing the livestock pen; the shakes were used here due to their superior insulating qualities; 8, The rear portion of the house, which is of late nineteenth century construction; the wide door was used for a carriage. This attachment of a garage of sorts directly to the house, using the same wall and roof lines, seems unusual; the garage was converted to part of the living space of the house during a renovation. The house is now owned by Mr. Perrault's daughter Phyllis, who uses it as a part-time residence. 9 View up the hill to the north toward Mr. Perrault's current residence; 10, Barn being re-shaked along State Highway 11 in Wallagrass, ME. The shape and gambrel roof of this barn are typical of the study area, but it is rare to find a barn sided entirely in shakes [The job was finished and this section was painted to match the rest of the barn just before we left the area in late July]; 11-16, An assortment of views from State Highway 11 in Wallagrass, ME; a good portion of the land now in forest was at one time agricultural; 17-19, Views of the Perrault house and barn from State Highway 11; the long, narrow shape of the house is atypical; 20, A twin barn in Frenchville, ME. Many variations of this type are found in the study area; see MAP-DW-C011 for more photographs and information. | |||||||||||||

These images document various structures observed while on a tour of the study area conducted by Julie Bayly and Patrick Ouellette; 1-4, A twin barn in Frenchville, ME. Several examples of this style, with its connected simple gable roofs, exist in the study area; however, it is unusual for such barns to have additions on two sides as this one does. Note the several wide doorways; this barn is still being used for equipment storage; 5-7, A twin barn in Hamlin, ME. Note the gambrel (locally termed colm-casse) roof, which, while common in barns of the study area, is found less frequently in twin barns than the simple gabled roof. It is currently not in use [This barn burnt to the ground in July, 1991]; 8-10, Looking down the St. John River from inside the Hamlin twin barn. The arched windows, used throughout this barn (see also slides 5-7, 11-12, and 14-15 on this page) are an unusual decorative feature; 11-12, Interior views of the Hamlin twin barn. This fairly large barn was divided into several compartments; note the three arched windows over the wide doorway, echoing those of the exterior wall; 13, Interior roof construction of Hamlin twin barn; this type of supporting truss structure, although more elaborate in this barn, is commonly used in the study area. Also typical is the absence of a ridgepole; 14-15, Side wall of Hamlin twin barn; this is the exterior of the wall through which slides 8-10 were taken. The front (left) part of the barn was separated by a wall from the rear, hence the side-by-side doorways; 16-18, The unoccupied house across the road (U.S. Highway 1) from the Hamlin twin barn. We presume, but do not know for certain, that the house and barn were (and may still be) part of the same property. The form of the house is not uncommon; its size and orientation, with the gabled side facing the road, suggest twentieth century construction; 19-20, The Catholic church and cemetery in St-Basile, New Brunswick. The white crosses toward the foreground represent the founding families, the first Acadian settlers of the study area. | |||||||||||||

These images document various scenes in New Brunswick, Canada; 1, Entrance to the cemetery at the Catholic church in St. Basile; 2, Cemetery at St. Basile? the building in the background was used to store bodies in the winter, when the ground was too frozen to dig graves; 3, Three Feathers gift shop on the Malecite reserve in Iroquois, New Brunswick, just east of Edmunston. Note the totem pole, an artifact generally associated with peoples of the Pacific northwest; 4, IGA grocery store in Clair, New Brunswick. Much of the signage is in French; while the province of New Brunswick is officially bilingual, French is the primary language in the upper St. John River valley; 5-6, A type of convenience store called a depanner; these stores are distinct from others in that they open later in the day and stay open later at night than others. They are numerous on the New Brunswick side of the river; 7-8, Bi-lingual traffic sign along Highway 120 east of Clair; 9, Street sign in New Brunswick, the majority of which (at least in the upper St. John River valley) are in French; 10, School bus parked next to a home, presumably that of the driver, near Clair. New Brunswick has separate school systems for English and French speakers; this bus is used in the French system, which enrolls many more pupils than the English; 11, The hills of Maine as seen from New Brunswick; the hedgerows may mark property division lines of the earliest land grants, which were measured in arpent and laid out in the French long lot fashion; 12-13, A bilingual sign near Edmunston; 14, Sign on a plumber's place of business in Edmunston; business signs in this part of New Brunswick are generally either bilingual or French only, although a few English only signs can be found. The following images were taken in St. David Village, in the town of Madawaska, ME; 15-18, A woven mat, thought to be of Native American manufacture, which was purportedly found hidden in the walls of the Fred Albert house in St. David when it was moved to the property of the Madawaska historical society. The mat is currently kept in a glass display case in the Albert house; 19-20, The home of Geraldine and Ernie Chasse in St. David, ME. This fairly large house is of mid-nineteenth century log construction, and has been enlarged several times; the roof has been raised and the former summer kitchen enclosed. Twentieth century re-modeling includes the addition of a second floor over the former kitchen, the rearrangement of interior walls, and the brick facade. | |||||||||||||
