Questions

Common questions.

How did Dexter get its name?

The State Historical Society of Missouri's place-names file says the town was named in honor of a famous race horse owned by Mr. Dex, who named the horse Dexter. The town was laid out in 1873.

What historic building is in Dexter?

The Dexter Gymnasium, an Art Deco building, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001.

Why do crawlspaces and basements matter in Missouri houses?

EPA notes that crawl spaces with high humidity are common sites of hidden mold growth, especially over bare soil. Missouri summers are humid, so foundation moisture is a frequent buyer concern. EPA also advises grading the ground away from the foundation so it does not stay wet.
