fireplaces

Mantled home features

Fireplaces is the plural of fireplace—a structure built into a wall where fires can be safely burned for warmth or ambiance.

Traditional fireplaces have a hearth, firebox, and chimney to vent smoke.

The fireplace serves as a focal point in rooms, and gathering around the fireplace evokes domestic comfort and intimacy.
