Greek Revival Farmhouse

We designed and built this dramatic stone fireplace, the focal point of a rustic, lodge-style living room in a converted barn attached to an 1849 Greek Revival farmhouse. The chimney presents an elegant profile of white stucco. Part of a larger project for the television series "This Old House," the Rumford style fireplace features a substantial granite lintel, soapstone firesides, and charming hearth in granite, laid down in a playful wave pattern.
