The mystery fireplace

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!
