Today we start tearing off the stonework added to our open hearth fireplace in the 1970's. A huge oak beam was added as a mantel as their version of "rustic". Wood work in the 18th century was not rustic but fine, there were skilled craftsmen and all but the very poor had mantels with details. Well all in all, here is the fireplace as it exists now. More pictures to come.
