What drying runs into in Bennington
Serving Bennington and the surrounding area, including Downtown Bennington Historic District, Old Bennington Historic District.
Local housing stock
Ask when the houses in Bennington were built and the answer is 1954 at the median, 93.3 percent of them finished by 1990. Around a median of 1954 with more than nine in ten houses older, the town used the local marble freely, so steps, sills, walks and foundation facings across the older stock are stone rather than concrete.
Climate & seasonal risk
July brings 4.65 of the 38.58 inches Bennington sees in a normal year, and July averages 68.9 degrees, which is the pace a wet floor dries at in the warm season; both figures recorded at BENNINGTON MORSE ST AP, 3.7 miles away. July is the wettest month at 4.65 inches of a 39-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the stone is wetted in summer and frozen for months; marble is more porous than people expect and takes both.
How water losses tend to end in Bennington
- Stone that absorbs more than it appears to, so it holds water rather than shedding it
- Marble against timber at sills and steps, so the wood stays wet where the two meet
- Freeze acting on saturated stone, so the surface spalls and the joints open
