Characteristics of Historical Home Fireplaces/Chimneys

• It's truly amazing how well these old structures stood up to the harsh elements of nature over such a long time period.
  
  
• These magnificent structures represent a past heritage that we can enjoy and hopefully our grandchildren for many more generations to come will be able to also enjoy and reflect on this historical heritage.

  • Quite often the bricks also become powdery even falling completely out leaving large holes in the chimney.
    
  • Weak or missing bricks can also cause a chimney to collapse.
