Local housing stock
Since 1990, Green Cove Springs has added 57.3 percent of the homes it has now, though the median still dates to 1998; builders of each era set the ducts and the cold surfaces where they remain. Nearly all of the historic district's houses are wood frame, most resting on brick piers, and brick standing in damp ground draws water up into the sill beam laid across it, so the lowest timber of each house stays wetter than the floor it carries.
Climate & seasonal risk
The normal dewpoint in Green Cove Springs stays at or above 70 degrees around the clock in July and August, reaching 73.9 in August; June is the wettest month, with 7.3 of 53.07 inches, rain recorded 5.6 miles away and dewpoint 17.2 miles away. The district grew westward from the river, so its oldest houses stand nearest the St. Johns and the spring, on the town's flat land, and through the wettest weeks the ground beneath their raised floors stays as wet as the air moving across it.
What keeps buildings wet here
- Brick piers under the historic district's frame houses, drawing water from damp ground up into the sill beams that rest on them
- The oldest houses, nearest the St. Johns River and the spring, on flat land close to river level where the ground under raised floors stays wet through June
- Ground beside the creek that carries the spring's water east to the river, where the flowing water can keep the soil damp between storms
