CUMBERLAND MARYLAND-1938: This 8mm home movie captures a massive excavation site, likely for a new building foundation. The grainy black-and-white footage shows deep trenches, piles of dirt, and stacks of bricks. A worker in period attire is seen at the edge of the dig, with construction materials and a long concrete form visible. The film exhibits classic Super 8 characteristics—film grain, soft focus, and dark borders—evoking a sense of historical documentation from the late 1930s.
