A German-heritage rail town's older building stock
Haubstadt developed as one of seventeen distinct German communities in southwestern Indiana, platted in 1855 and not incorporated until 1913, with its 1877 Catholic church reflecting that settlement's staying power. A town with that long a construction history has building stock old enough for original moisture barriers, where they existed at all, to be well past their working life.
Crawlspace and attic conditions in a century-old town core
Haubstadt's older core, built up gradually from an 1855 rail platting, is the kind of housing stock where crawlspace and attic mold remediation regularly traces back to original construction details that predate any modern moisture standard.
