CPR Engine House

[Sumpter250]

I owned an old house that had a chimney that started on the second floor. It had two places to tie in stovepipes and I would guess that the rectangle in the drawing corresponds to the clean-out hatch I had on my chinmey.

This arrangement would allow the stoves to be placed where needed, with "bare" pipes running through the building allowing further heating. My house had several portals between rooms and between floors to allow for this.

Well, There you have it ! The "clean out hatch" makes all the sense in the world. I have never seen this kind of "chimney" before, so wouldn't have known about the hatch.

Andrew, was your chimney brick ??, or some other construction.
