chimney breast
Flue's interior wall
A chimney breast is the portion of an interior wall that projects into a room to accommodate a fireplace and its flue.
It creates the characteristic bulge you see around a fireplace opening, housing the chimney stack as it rises through the building.
In older homes, the chimney breast often serves as a focal point: We mounted the television above the mantel on the chimney breast.
