Foundational stuff. Important.

The pair were joined by Chloe Boulle, one of UNE\u2019s most talented communications students, heartily recommended by the Communications faculty for the gig.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/P1011919-1024x577.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-586\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.774726000264096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/P1011919-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/P1011919-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/P1011919-768x433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/P1011919-1536x865.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/P1011919-2048x1154.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>It was not good conditions for photography.

Zuelow wanted to find a house.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s back up.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the initial questions we\u2019ve started with in this course deals with what appears to be a large house near where the Marine Science building now stands. Prior to the start of the semester, Zuelow and his 5-year-old daughter, Bridie (whose archaeological interests have resulted in a front yard dotted by 50&#215;50 test pits), explored the riverfront on foot. After some messy triangulation, he\u2019d convinced himself that the house&nbsp;<em>could<\/em>&nbsp;be just to the right of the current academic building.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zuelow and Prof. Arthur Anderson then went to look at the possible site. There\u2019s some levelish ground. Could possibly be the house site in an old photograph. Maybe? They wondered if the oldest looking pine tree at the location is the one to the right of the photo. Conceivably?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/5_BigHouse-900x1024-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-604\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.8789196612497139;width:604px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/5_BigHouse-900x1024-1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/5_BigHouse-900x1024-1-264x300.jpg 264w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/5_BigHouse-900x1024-1-768x874.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Professors Zuelow and Anderson spent far too much time studying the pine on the right&#8230; Image courtesy of Featherman University Archive, University of New England.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was something nagging at them, though. Zuelow and his daughter had been on Freddie Beach, but not in nearly the right spot to get a real sense of things. Besides, the photo showing the house was taken from a dock in what is roughly the middle of the river. You want to find a house based on an old postcard, you\u2019ve got to go to the spot the original photo was taken.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/MS_0419_Folder_S_I_021-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-587\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/MS_0419_Folder_S_I_021-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/MS_0419_Folder_S_I_021-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/MS_0419_Folder_S_I_021-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/MS_0419_Folder_S_I_021-1536x960.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.une.edu\/unepast\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/60\/2026\/09\/MS_0419_Folder_S_I_021.jpg 1646w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The Launch Nimrod with the mystery house in the upper right.<\/em> <em>Image courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/maine.primo.exlibrisgroup.com\/nde\/fulldisplay?collectionId=81534270810008681&amp;vid=01MAINE_INST:DigCol&amp;lang=en&amp;query=Saco%20River%20postcard&amp;docid=alma991048540478408681&amp;adaptor=Local%20Search%20Engine&amp;context=L&amp;isFrbr=false&amp;isHighlightedRecord=false&amp;state=\">University of Maine Digital Collections<\/a>. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Zuelow, Boulle, and Gregorius took the school\u2019s small boat into the channel, locating where the famous Camp Ellis pier once stood.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was clear very quickly that the house could not possibly have stood where Zuelow and Anderson hoped it did.

We slid and slipped along, surveying the beach. There are deposits of brick, some remaining wooden structure of the jetty that once stood at Jordan\u2019s Point (not to mention all of the original granite) which we\u2019re keen to learn more about. There\u2019s an odd metal fixture sticking from the rock face, near where the possible gazebo might have been.
