Where are these fireplaces from?

First person to answer correctly gets one free ash round split to the their preference (pickup only no deliveries)

 

One more... Another Ash round up for grabs!

 

White House

 

Ding ding ding! #TurboDiesel is the winner of post 1.

Anybody for post 2.

 

I was surprised that the fireplaces actually looked functional. There was even kindeling between the splits. Anybody know if they are actually used.

Can you imagine the wood they had to burn back in the day to keep that place warm!

 

I'll need an address to pick up the ash round.

 

You know why old houses have so many fireplaces don't ya? They only had fires in the rooms they were using - not heating the entire house at one time. You were lucky if your bedroom was upstairs and close to the brick/stone chimney.

 

If you ever make it to Dakota let me know!

 

Is one of them in the state room? I swear I remember pictures on the news with the various Presidents at state dinners with that in the background, but I may be hallucinating too.

 

Imagine all of the secret papers that have been thrown in those...... the ultimate paper shredder. If only emails burned....

 

Seems to me that e-mails just disappear!

 

I hope I do some day!
I'd love to meet up for coffee

 

The Grinch's house?

 

Fun fact: Monticello (Jeffersons residence) burned through 10 cord of wood per month for heat!

I wouldnt doubt the White House used a similar amount back when that was its primary heat source.

 

I heard one president had plenty of wood in the Oval Office! Don’t forget about Woodrow Wilson!

 

Don't kid yourself. E-mails may get lost for a while but they never disappear forever. Somebody is gonna find them at the worst possible moment. One of the joys of the internet.

After the fact,,,,,wood that be considered,,,,,,,, "smoked salmon" ???

 

Probably was a good cigar......up until that point.

 

Not the best, but it was up there!
