Almost every room in the house had a fireplace. Fireplaces were vital to warm the house. The fireplaces were anything but ugly. Each fireplace was a little different from the rest. The first fireplace I saw was the most elaborate. It was in a main room which is why it was so decorative. A lot of the fireplaces used marble or stone. You can assume that they were wealthy because of all of the fireplaces that had marble. The fireplaces ranged in their scale. The bigger fireplaces were put in more important rooms, while the smaller fireplaces were put in bedrooms.
