The fireplace in the center room of the brick house was rumored to have a beehive oven. With the help and expertise of Tim Nichols of North Anson, we opened the fireplace just enough to uncover the oven which had been partially removed in order to make way for a refrigerator back in the 1920's.
Tim and Jesse are working on a new chimney to replace this on becaause the crib work under the chimney has failed and the chimney is leaning and twisted from the top to the bottom. The 8' wide mantel will be reused and a new brick oven built along with a Rumford style fireplace that will house a Home Atlantic wood stove similar to the one at the Bradley camp dining room. This project is scheduled for December of 2008.

Hey Jess,
Sure looks like a lot of work. It just occurred to me that you are following in your namesake's footsteps. Any truth to that idea?
