The house that Alfred Russel Wallace rented on the "earthquake-tortured island of Ternate" in Indonesia has become legendary thanks to the fact that he was living there when he sent his famous essay on evolution by natural selection to Charles Darwin in March 1858. The house was largely made from plant material and would have rotted away long, long ago, although a former Sultan of Ternate claimed that one of his more substantially built concrete houses was THE house. Sadly it is not even in the corrrect part of Ternate city - we know that because the house's location is described in Wallace's book The Malay Archipelago. For many years (since WWII) a site, known as the Santiong site, was thought by many to be the actual place where the house once stood. However, as George Beccaloni pointed out many years ago in an earlier version of THIS ARTICLE, this site is also in the wrong area according to Wallace's book. George pointed out that the correct site was near Fort Oranje, and he deduced the likely area where it would have been. Years later Paul Whincup conducted a study which confirmed George's proposal, and further pinpointed the site of the house. The quest to locate the house site is explained in detail in Hughes, N. & Taib, R. (2022). The Quest for the Legendary House of Alfred Russel Wallace in Ternate.
