Local housing stock
Only 6.2 percent of Homewood's housing went up after 1989, so the median build year sits at 1961 and the drying scope is set by that era's materials. Around a median of 1961 with nearly 94 percent of the stock older, the front rooms were built with a large fixed sealed unit flanked by opening sashes, and on most houses those center panes are still the originals.
Climate & seasonal risk
5 months in Homewood have normal lows below freezing, January the coldest at 15.2 degrees. The rain side of the calendar peaks in June at 5.06 inches of an annual 41.46; rain recorded at HOMEWOOD 0.1 ESE 0.2 miles away and temperatures at PARK FOREST 4.6 miles away. June is the wettest month at 5.06 inches of a 41-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the glass is worked through a very wide annual range; a sealed unit expands and contracts hard for sixty years and then fails.

- A slow failure, so the unit is tolerated for years while the frame beneath it goes
