The depth of the fireplace is the first clue that somewhere along the line the original firebox was modified or rebuilt. There are many different vintage brick and rubble stone evident in the construction. Will be posting a photo of the insert tomorrow from the website. The house was built in 1805, but a brick removed from the fireplace is stamped 1917. I love clues!If walls could talk they would say "I am so glad you are here, the previous owners had such bad taste." Please follow our journey as we de-remodel our 200 year old home in the Nichols Farms Historic District.. bringing it from the worst house on the block to restoring it to it's former glory
