A courthouse square built in two waves
Forsyth was chartered as Monroe County’s seat in 1823 and had 70 houses and stores by 1827; the courthouse anchoring the square today dates only to 1896, after the original 1825 building was replaced.
What two building waves mean for a crawl space
Properties from Forsyth’s 1820s founding and its 1896 courthouse-era rebuild sit on the same ground but were framed roughly seventy years apart, often with different approaches to crawl space venting. Given Middle Georgia’s near-daily-in-summer humidity and roughly 51 inches of annual rain, both eras are candidates for a proper vapor barrier rather than the open, unlined crawl spaces common to either period.
