Moisture in a farmhouse-founded community
Dunwoody's oldest structures, including the Cheek-Spruill farmhouse and the roughly 1829 building on the Donaldson-Bannister Farm, predate the area's 2008 incorporation by close to two centuries and were built with farm-era construction methods that never anticipated today's HVAC and insulation standards.
