Lovely picture. I've seen old chimneys left standing around here, also.

Lee and Carol, looks a mighty fine and sturdy fireplace. I've seen some in the Williamsburg, VA., area standing alone.

Hi, Lee and Carol. There were alot of these old chimneys "left standing" in Vermont. Whenever I saw an old chimney or an old cellar hole, it always made me wonder what happened to the house and the family whose land it was.

I would love to find out the history of the home and what and when it happened. What happened to the family and why didn't they re-build.

How perfect - an outdoor fireplace. Don't see to many built like this. Beautiful country. :)

The way this is just perched on the land - as if it's always been there. Now featured on "Silent Saturday." Congratulations. :)
