Independence Township contains one of the strangest pieces of ground in New Jersey. The Great Meadows is a drained glacial lake bed — flat, black, intensely fertile muck soil that has been farmed for vegetables and sod for well over a century, sitting several feet lower than everything around it. The village of Great Meadows stands at its edge, and Vienna is a small crossroads settlement a short way off, both of them clusters of nineteenth-century frame houses. The farmsteads sit up on the slopes rather than out on the muck, because the flat ground is too wet to build on. That single fact governs the local climate: cold, heavy air and dense fog settle over the meadow on clear nights and drain toward the houses at its edge, which are damper and colder than their elevation alone would suggest.
We specify Independence houses for moisture. Frame materials and finishes are chosen to handle persistent damp, sill drainage is detailed so water leaves rather than lingers, and glazing is picked for rooms that lose the sun early to fog. Older farmhouses are measured and built to individually, with the original light pattern kept on the main block. Working outbuildings get sturdier, simpler units suited to how they are actually used.
We will look at how the damp off the meadow is affecting your frames and what will hold up against it.
