"Before the New Room was completed, Washington considered the front parlor to be “the best place in my House." This elegant room was a public space where visitors enjoyed the Washington family's company. Tea and coffee were customarily served here during the winter and on rainy days, and the household gathered here in the evenings to read, discuss the latest political news, and play games.
The architectural elements, including the mantel, two Palladian door frames, and paneled walls. These features make the front parlor one of the finest surviving examples of colonial Virginia architecture.
Reminders of the Washingtons are evident throughout the room, from the family portraits adorning the walls to the family coat-of-arms above the carved mantel and the crest on the decorative cast-iron fireback." - info from organization's website.
"Mount Vernon is an American landmark and former plantation of Founding Father, commander of the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War, and the first president of the United States George Washington and his wife, Martha. The estate is on the banks of the Potomac River in Fairfax County, Virginia. It is located south of Washington, D.C. and Alexandria, Virginia and is across the river from Prince George's County, Maryland.
The Washington family acquired land in the area in 1674. Around 1734, the family embarked on an expansion of its estate that continued under George Washington, who began leasing the estate in 1754 before becoming its sole owner in 1761.
The mansion was built of wood in a loose Palladian style; the original house was built by George Washington's father Augustine, around 1734. George Washington expanded the house twice, once in the late 1750s and again in the 1770s. It remained Washington's home for the rest of his life. Following his death in 1799, under the ownership of several successive generations of the family, the estate progressively declined as revenues were insufficient to maintain it adequately.
In 1858, the house's historical importance was recognized and it was saved from ruin by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association; this philanthropic organization acquired it together with part of the Washington property estate. Escaping the damage suffered by many plantation houses during the American Civil War, Mount Vernon was restored.
Mount Vernon was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1960 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is still owned and maintained in trust by the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association and is open every day of the year. Allowing the public to see the estate is not an innovation, but part of an over 200-year-old tradition started by George Washington himself. In 1794 he wrote: "I have no objection to any sober or orderly person's gratifying their curiosity in viewing the buildings, Gardens, &ca. about Mount Vernon."" - info from Wikipedia.
The fall of 2022 I did my 3rd major cycling tour. I began my adventure in Montreal, Canada and finished in Savannah, GA. This tour took me through the oldest parts of Quebec and the 13 original US states. During this adventure I cycled 7,126 km over the course of 2.5 months and took more than 68,000 photos. As with my previous tours, a major focus was to photograph historic architecture.

Former house, now offices. C15, with mid C20 facade. Rubble, but brick facade, colourwashed, clay tiled gabled roof with ridge at right angles to road. A narrow frontage first-floor hall plan, with stair to the left, rear. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and basement, 2 bays. Shop front across whole of ground floor, with central pair of doors in recess, under medium depth fascia, the whole appears c1900 and earlier than work above. To first floor a 3-light transomd casement window, and to second floor two 2-light casements, all with rectangular leaded lights and set under brick soldier arches, brick dentilled cornice and stepped parapet. Projecting hanging sign to right of first-floor window. Facade continuous in detail with No.6 (qv). INTERIOR: ground and first floors modified, with no early features visible; early C19 winder stairs. Second floor has exposed C15 roof frame of 3 bays, with upper crucks to saddles, carried on arch-braced collars, the braces moulded and to central 'stop', one range of curved windbraces and square purlin. In the front bay are remains of a stone fireplace with octagonal chamfered jambs. Roof frame indicates that C20 facade extended building streetwards by about half a metre. The bland C20 facade conceals a structure of considerable historic interest.
=========================
House, with shop. C16, some work dated 1673, front mid C20. Rubble, painted brickwork front, hipped Welsh slate roof behind parapet, but rear ranges with asbestos-cement slate. PLAN: originally seems to have been a double-depth plan house with central transverse staircase, to which was added a third range across the rear; all 3 ranges have gabled ends to ridges parallel with High Street, and part of the property may have been absorbed later in No.4 (qv) adjoining. EXTERIOR: 3 storeys and basement, 3 bays. Late C20 shop front across ground floor, mostly deeply recessed, all in hardwood. Above, two 3-light transomd casement windows to first-floor, and three 2-light casements to second floor, all with rectangular leaded panes and set under brick soldier arches, dentilled brick cornice and stepped parapet: the facade detail continues across No.8 (qv). The rear wall has, at first floor, four C17 wood casements; two of these are 2-light, with mullion and transom, and 2 are 3-light, with central opening unit flanked by horizontal bars. At first floor level in the E gables is a long shallow 6-light casement with horizontal bars. INTERIOR: the ground floor has been opened up by removal of partitions. The shop has cased ceiling beams, and in centre, through from ground to second floor, a very fine wide early C17 dog-leg staircase, with strapwork-panelled and capped newels, deep handrails and elaborate scrolled and carved balustrade panels, turned balusters (some modern) to outer balustrades. In rear wall of the mid range is a wide 3-centre chamfered arched fireplace, with ornamental brick and tile fireback dated "E.G. August 6 1673". In the rear range, to the left, is an early C17 newel staircase, and traces of timber-framing in the rear wall. In the E party wall are two recesses revealing parts of blocked arches of uncertain date, and a wide 6-light casement in deep reveals, set high. At first floor the main stair landing has a fine 2-panel C17 door with cambered head on scrolls, in a C16 moulded frame; opposite this, on 3 steps, is a 2-panel fielded door in ovolo-mould frame, and there is a 12-pane sash to the W. The front room has a cornice moulding, and the middle room an early 4-light casement with horizontal bars, and a very large square beam. The rear room is in 4 bays with very broad ceiling beams, that to the middle bay with mortices on each side; the rear wall has 4 windows, all of the C17, in 2 patterns, and there is a C16 stone fireplace with square opening to a moulded stopped surround in the E wall. This room has an early moulded skirting. In the SW corner is an entrance to the newel stair. At second-floor level are two borrowed lights in the partitions to the staircase, unglazed, with fine turned balusters. Some large roof principals are visible above the stair. The rear range has some early floor-boards, but a C20 roof structure. The middle range retains 4 bays of collar trusses, the collars removed, with 2 purlins; this roof is in 2 sections of differing date, with a central partition, and the purlins in the E section are heavier than the others. The cellar was not accessible. The property, which was extended to the N soon after completion of the front ranges, was clearly a town house to a merchant of some wealth and retains some fine features especially of the C17. Its quality is belied by the bland C20 frontage.

The interior of Dyffryn House at Dyffryn Gardens.
It is in Dyffryn in the Vale of Glamorgan. Not too far from Cardiff. The gardens are owned by the National Trust. There is also a house on the site, that is undergoing refurbishment, it opens at midday (the parts that are open though).
Dyffryn House was first home to Admiral Sir Thomas Button in the 16th century. Then in the 18th century the Pryce family took ownership. The last family to live in the house was the Cory family from the late 19th century.
Bought by John Cory the house you see today is mostly his remodelling. John's only daughter Florence was the last of the family to live here, passing away in 1937.
The estate was bought by Sir Cennydd Traherne, a local land lower. This is when it began it's life as a training centre and then a conference centre.
The conference centre closed in 1998. For a brief period the house as due to become a hotel. Much of the damage was caused by this plan.
In 2013, 17 years after doors closed, the National Trust has reopened the house to keep the story going.
The house is Grade II* listed.
Interior
Lavish interiors the main rooms of which are designed in a wide variety of styles in a manner often favoured by wealthy C19 owners. Some of the chimneypieces are said to have been brought from other houses. The single most important room is the Great Hall which echoes those of major C16 country houses (eg Hampton Court and Burghley) with its full height, mock hammerbeam roof and large end window. The walls are enriched with two tiers of pilasters carrying friezes, a dentilled cornice to top and corbelled round arches with gilded keystones below over a panelled dado. 5-bay implied double-hammerbeam roof which is herringbone-boarded. Grand timber chimneypiece with massive cornice carried by full height terms; stone fireplace surround and overmantel with Ionic columns flanking coat of arms. Enormous window to N end with coloured glass depicting Queen Elizabeth I; round-arched doorway below with double doors and marble columns. Splayed dais recess to W wall with coffered ceiling. At S end the minstrels gallery is carried on curved brackets and spans an open passage leading from the staircase hall giving access to the Great Hall and neighbouring rooms, the doorways to which are surmounted by large plaster relief 'tondi'. To the E of the Great Hall is the Billiard Room which has a dado, with integral bench seating, below a deep band of carved panelling in an exceptionally florid Renaissance manner; similar frieze and chimneypiece and a deeply panelled ceiling with ceiling bosses. The Orchid room to S has painted ceiling, Ionic columns and gilded surrounds to wall panelling. Immediately next door is the Rose Room which is in a broadly C18 French style (see especially the delicately painted ceiling with corner roundels and the gilded festoons to the beaded surrounds of the wall panelling). The fine marble chimneypiece however is more ca.1600 in style with tapered figural pilasters, Smythson-like bosses and strapwork surrounding an equestrian figure with a French inscription: "Dieu Benit La Zouche de Courson". To the W is the Tulip Room (now Dining room) with ribbed ceiling including Gothic foliate bosses; bowed W end backs onto the Bar while the N wall backs onto the wainscotted Staircase Hall which at its E end has wall-arcading in a similar manner to that of the Great Hall. Broad stairs with long flights; shaped tread ends and panelled newels with finials. 1st floor landing has paired marble columns and beyond that the stairs continue in a similar manner to 2nd floor. The Oak room opens off the Staircase Hall. This was formerly the dining room and has a panelled ceiling, wainscotting and mullioned and transomed windows all in a Tudor/Elizabethan manner; similar style inglenook-like fireplace with oval smoke window. The two remaining public rooms to W are the Bar and Lounge for the conference centre. The former has lightly ribbed ceiling but luxuriantly foliage encrusted marble chimneypiece in an C18 manner and reuses a remarkable French style 7-double branch chandelier; modern panelling. The lounge has unusual plaster ceiling with broad ribs and thistle, rose and daffodil ornament to square, diamond and lozenge shaped panels. Fine French chateau style marble chimneypiece with putti flanking round-arched fireplace containing Fleur-de-lis fireback.

This listing is for a Tapered Fireplace Furnace Grate Heater measuring 18" wide front, 14" wide back, 16 tall, 16 deep. This tapered trapezoidal shape better matches the shape of your fireplace, allowing more heat exchanger to snugly fit. It also fans out the hot air being blown into your room, for greater comfort. It works in masonry and zero-clearance fireplaces, as well as with gas logs or gas starters. It has 9.7 square feet of heat exchanger surface area. This Item fits within a cardboard box 18w 16t 16d fully assembled. You can use a cardboard box of this size to test the fit into your fireplace.
The most elegant, well crafted, customizable, and functional Heat Exchangers at the most reasonable cost. Turn your fireplace into a furnace with the ultimate blend of eye pleasing form with function. These high quality fireplace Grate Heat Exchangers are built to last.
When you use our Grate Heat Exchanger in an open fireplace, you will realize a saving on your heating costs and the amount of firewood. With one of these you can extract a larger percentage of the heat wasted and going up your chimney. Our Heat Exchangers are designed with the greatest surface area to capture and move into your home the highest percentage of the BTU heat generated by your fire.
Our volume of sales and positive feedback speaks for itself!
We have grates that have been in operation since 2000 and no customer has reported burn through.
All our products are made with fully welded uncoated non-galvanized structural grade industrial carbon steel, and UL certified electrical components.
We use 100% renewable wind and hydro electricity in our shop, and when possible, we use re-purposed and recycled steel.
Here is how it works:
Our all steel design uses several perfectly sized heavy duty thick wall tubes for maximum heat exchanger surface area, superior airflow volume, minimum burn through, and maximum combustion area volume. The tubes are welded together forming a channel that is filled with cool home air. The tubes then heat the air as it passes through them. Hot air is then blown back into the your home with velocity. This adds conduction from the hot coal coals and convection from the flame, heating to the radiant heat of a fireplace, recovering otherwise lost energy or BTU from the embers and flame of your fire.
The AC fans plug into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet (DC optional for solar panel, wind, solar cell, photo voltaic cell off grid or grid tie applications), they are quiet running at a measured 50 db or less decibels, and rated at 100 CFM each. With the option of a variable speed fan control when mood is more important than heat output you can reduce the background hum of our heat exchangers in operation for the perfect ambiance.
Customers have observed how the warmth generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.
Production time? We normally keep these standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.

To the W is the Tulip Room (now Dining room) with ribbed ceiling including Gothic foliate bosses; bowed W end backs onto the Bar while the N wall backs onto the wainscotted Staircase Hall which at its E end has wall-arcading in a similar manner to that of the Great Hall. Broad stairs with long flights; shaped tread ends and panelled newels with finials. 1st floor landing has paired marble columns and beyond that the stairs continue in a similar manner to 2nd floor. The Oak room opens off the Staircase Hall. This was formerly the dining room and has a panelled ceiling, wainscotting and mullioned and transomed windows all in a Tudor/Elizabethan manner; similar style inglenook-like fireplace with oval smoke window. The two remaining public rooms to W are the Bar and Lounge for the conference centre. The former has lightly ribbed ceiling but luxuriantly foliage encrusted marble chimneypiece in an C18 manner and reuses a remarkable French style 7-double branch chandelier; modern panelling. The lounge has unusual plaster ceiling with broad ribs and thistle, rose and daffodil ornament to square, diamond and lozenge shaped panels. Fine French chateau style marble chimneypiece with putti flanking round-arched fireplace containing Fleur-de-lis fireback.

This listing is for a Tapered Fireplace Furnace Grate Heater measuring 18" wide front, 14" wide back, 16 tall, 16 deep. This tapered trapezoidal shape better matches the shape of your fireplace, allowing more heat exchanger to snugly fit. It also fans out the hot air being blown into your room, for greater comfort. It works in masonry and zero-clearance fireplaces, as well as with gas logs or gas starters. It has 9.7 square feet of heat exchanger surface area. This Item fits within a cardboard box 18w 16t 16d fully assembled. You can use a cardboard box of this size to test the fit into your fireplace.
The most elegant, well crafted, customizable, and functional Heat Exchangers at the most reasonable cost. Turn your fireplace into a furnace with the ultimate blend of eye pleasing form with function. These high quality fireplace Grate Heat Exchangers are built to last.
When you use our Grate Heat Exchanger in an open fireplace, you will realize a saving on your heating costs and the amount of firewood. With one of these you can extract a larger percentage of the heat wasted and going up your chimney. Our Heat Exchangers are designed with the greatest surface area to capture and move into your home the highest percentage of the BTU heat generated by your fire.
Our volume of sales and positive feedback speaks for itself!
We have grates that have been in operation since 2000 and no customer has reported burn through.
All our products are made with fully welded uncoated non-galvanized structural grade industrial carbon steel, and UL certified electrical components.
We use 100% renewable wind and hydro electricity in our shop, and when possible, we use re-purposed and recycled steel.
Here is how it works:
Our all steel design uses several perfectly sized heavy duty thick wall tubes for maximum heat exchanger surface area, superior airflow volume, minimum burn through, and maximum combustion area volume. The tubes are welded together forming a channel that is filled with cool home air. The tubes then heat the air as it passes through them. Hot air is then blown back into the your home with velocity. This adds conduction from the hot coal coals and convection from the flame, heating to the radiant heat of a fireplace, recovering otherwise lost energy or BTU from the embers and flame of your fire.
The AC fans plug into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet (DC optional for solar panel, wind, solar cell, photo voltaic cell off grid or grid tie applications), they are quiet running at a measured 50 db or less decibels, and rated at 100 CFM each. With the option of a variable speed fan control when mood is more important than heat output you can reduce the background hum of our heat exchangers in operation for the perfect ambiance.
Customers have observed how the warmth generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.
Production time? We normally keep these standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.

The interior of Dyffryn House at Dyffryn Gardens.
It is in Dyffryn in the Vale of Glamorgan. Not too far from Cardiff. The gardens are owned by the National Trust. There is also a house on the site, that is undergoing refurbishment, it opens at midday (the parts that are open though).
Dyffryn House was first home to Admiral Sir Thomas Button in the 16th century. Then in the 18th century the Pryce family took ownership. The last family to live in the house was the Cory family from the late 19th century.
Bought by John Cory the house you see today is mostly his remodelling. John's only daughter Florence was the last of the family to live here, passing away in 1937.
The estate was bought by Sir Cennydd Traherne, a local land lower. This is when it began it's life as a training centre and then a conference centre.
The conference centre closed in 1998. For a brief period the house as due to become a hotel. Much of the damage was caused by this plan.
In 2013, 17 years after doors closed, the National Trust has reopened the house to keep the story going.
The house is Grade II* listed.
Interior
Lavish interiors the main rooms of which are designed in a wide variety of styles in a manner often favoured by wealthy C19 owners. Some of the chimneypieces are said to have been brought from other houses. The single most important room is the Great Hall which echoes those of major C16 country houses (eg Hampton Court and Burghley) with its full height, mock hammerbeam roof and large end window. The walls are enriched with two tiers of pilasters carrying friezes, a dentilled cornice to top and corbelled round arches with gilded keystones below over a panelled dado. 5-bay implied double-hammerbeam roof which is herringbone-boarded. Grand timber chimneypiece with massive cornice carried by full height terms; stone fireplace surround and overmantel with Ionic columns flanking coat of arms. Enormous window to N end with coloured glass depicting Queen Elizabeth I; round-arched doorway below with double doors and marble columns. Splayed dais recess to W wall with coffered ceiling. At S end the minstrels gallery is carried on curved brackets and spans an open passage leading from the staircase hall giving access to the Great Hall and neighbouring rooms, the doorways to which are surmounted by large plaster relief 'tondi'. To the E of the Great Hall is the Billiard Room which has a dado, with integral bench seating, below a deep band of carved panelling in an exceptionally florid Renaissance manner; similar frieze and chimneypiece and a deeply panelled ceiling with ceiling bosses. The Orchid room to S has painted ceiling, Ionic columns and gilded surrounds to wall panelling.

And yet another species of bird I'd not seen before: this is the Crested Fireback. However, this is the female, with her rather dull colouration. The male was one hell of a handsome fella, with bright plumage, but he either kepd coming too close, and hence disappearing under the field of view, or moving too far away, to the other end of the cage. The irritating cross netting (seen blurred in the foreground) was no help either. The Crested Fireback (Lophura ignita) is a medium-sized, up to 70 cm long, forest pheasant with a peacock-like dark crest, bluish black plumage, reddish brown rump, black outer tail feathers, red iris and bare blue facial skin. The female is a brown bird with short crest, blue facial skin and spotted black-and-white below. The diet consists mainly of plants, fruits and small animals. The female usually lays between four to eight creamy white eggs.Due to ongoing habitat loss and over-hunting in some areas, the Crested Fireback is evaluated as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

THE CLOISTERS
Described by Germain Bazin, former director of the Musée du Louvre in Paris, as "the crowning achievement of American museology," is the branch of the Metropolitan Museum devoted to the art and architecture of medieval Europe. Located on four acres overlooking the Hudson River in northern Manhattan's Fort Tryon Park, the building incorporates elements from five medieval French cloisters—quadrangles enclosed by a roofed or vaulted passageway, or arcade—and from other monastic sites in southern France. Three of the cloisters reconstructed at the branch museum feature gardens planted according to horticultural information found in medieval treatises and poetry, garden documents and herbals, and medieval works of art, such as tapestries, stained-glass windows, and column capitals. Approximately five thousand works of art from medieval Europe, dating from about A.D. 800 with particular emphasis on the twelfth through fifteenth century, are exhibited in this unique and sympathetic context.
The collection focuses on the Romanesque and Gothic periods. Renowned for its architectural sculpture, The Cloisters also rewards visitors with exquisite illuminated manuscripts, stained glass, metalwork, enamels, ivories, and tapestries.
The Cloisters, which celebrated its sixtieth anniversary in 1998, is named for the portions of five medieval French cloisters—Saint-Michel-de-Cuxa, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, Bonnefont-en-Comminges, Trie-en-Bigorre, and Froville—that were incorporated into the modern museum building. The result is not a copy of any particular medieval structure but an ensemble of spaces, rooms, and gardens that provide a harmonious and evocative setting in which visitors can experience the rich tradition of medieval artistic production. Just as cloisters provided sheltered access from one building to another within a monastery, here they act as passageways from gallery to gallery. They provide as inviting a place for rest, contemplation, and conversation as they did for their original monastic population.
Much of the sculpture at The Cloisters was acquired by George Grey Barnard (1863–1938), a prominent American sculptor and avid collector of medieval art. While working in rural France before World War I, Barnard supplemented his income by locating and selling medieval sculpture and architectural fragments that had made their way into the hands of local landowners over several centuries of political and religious upheaval. He kept many pieces for himself and, upon returning to the United States, opened to the public a churchlike brick structure on Fort Washington Avenue filled with his collection—the first installation of medieval art of its kind in America.
Through the generosity of the philanthropist and collector John D. Rockefeller, Jr. (1874–1960), the museum and all of its contents were acquired by the Museum in 1925. By 1927, it was clear that a new, larger building would be needed to display the collection in a more scholarly fashion. In addition to financing the conversion of 66.5 acres of land just north of Barnard's museum into a public park—inside which the new museum building would be located—and donating seven hundred acres of additional land to the state of New Jersey across the Hudson River to ensure that the view from The Cloisters remain unsullied, Rockefeller contributed medieval works of art from his own collection (including the celebrated set of seven South Netherlandish tapestries depicting "The Hunt of the Unicorn") and established an endowment for operations and future acquisitions.
The new museum building was designed by Charles Collens (1873–1956), the architect of New York City's Riverside Church, in a simplified, paraphrased medieval style, incorporating and reconstructing the cloister elements salvaged by Barnard. Joseph Breck (1885–1933), a curator of decorative arts and assistant director of the Metropolitan, and James J. Rorimer (1905–1966), who would later be named director, were primarily responsible for the interior. Balancing Collens's interpretation with strict attention to historical accuracy, Breck and Rorimer created in the galleries a clear and logical flow from the Romanesque (ca. 1000–ca. 1150) through the Gothic period (ca. 1150–1520). The Cloisters was formally dedicated on May 10, 1938. The Treasury, containing sumptuous objects created for liturgical celebrations, personal devotions, and secular uses, was renovated in 1988. The galleries in which the seven tapestries depicting "The Hunt of the Unicorn" are hung were refurbished in 1999.

The interior of Dyffryn House at Dyffryn Gardens.
It is in Dyffryn in the Vale of Glamorgan. Not too far from Cardiff. The gardens are owned by the National Trust. There is also a house on the site, that is undergoing refurbishment, it opens at midday (the parts that are open though).
Dyffryn House was first home to Admiral Sir Thomas Button in the 16th century. Then in the 18th century the Pryce family took ownership. The last family to live in the house was the Cory family from the late 19th century.
Bought by John Cory the house you see today is mostly his remodelling. John's only daughter Florence was the last of the family to live here, passing away in 1937.
The estate was bought by Sir Cennydd Traherne, a local land lower. This is when it began it's life as a training centre and then a conference centre.
The conference centre closed in 1998. For a brief period the house as due to become a hotel. Much of the damage was caused by this plan.
In 2013, 17 years after doors closed, the National Trust has reopened the house to keep the story going.
The house is Grade II* listed.

Lavish interiors the main rooms of which are designed in a wide variety of styles in a manner often favoured by wealthy C19 owners. Some of the chimneypieces are said to have been brought from other houses. The single most important room is the Great Hall which echoes those of major C16 country houses (eg Hampton Court and Burghley) with its full height, mock hammerbeam roof and large end window. The walls are enriched with two tiers of pilasters carrying friezes, a dentilled cornice to top and corbelled round arches with gilded keystones below over a panelled dado. 5-bay implied double-hammerbeam roof which is herringbone-boarded. Grand timber chimneypiece with massive cornice carried by full height terms; stone fireplace surround and overmantel with Ionic columns flanking coat of arms. Enormous window to N end with coloured glass depicting Queen Elizabeth I; round-arched doorway below with double doors and marble columns. Splayed dais recess to W wall with coffered ceiling. At S end the minstrels gallery is carried on curved brackets and spans an open passage leading from the staircase hall giving access to the Great Hall and neighbouring rooms, the doorways to which are surmounted by large plaster relief 'tondi'.

This listing is for a Tapered Fireplace Furnace Grate Heater measuring 18" wide front, 14" wide back, 16 tall, 16 deep. This tapered trapezoidal shape better matches the shape of your fireplace, allowing more heat exchanger to snugly fit. It also fans out the hot air being blown into your room, for greater comfort. It works in masonry and zero-clearance fireplaces, as well as with gas logs or gas starters. It has 9.7 square feet of heat exchanger surface area. This Item fits within a cardboard box 18w 16t 16d fully assembled. You can use a cardboard box of this size to test the fit into your fireplace.
The most elegant, well crafted, customizable, and functional Heat Exchangers at the most reasonable cost. Turn your fireplace into a furnace with the ultimate blend of eye pleasing form with function. These high quality fireplace Grate Heat Exchangers are built to last.
When you use our Grate Heat Exchanger in an open fireplace, you will realize a saving on your heating costs and the amount of firewood. With one of these you can extract a larger percentage of the heat wasted and going up your chimney. Our Heat Exchangers are designed with the greatest surface area to capture and move into your home the highest percentage of the BTU heat generated by your fire.
Our volume of sales and positive feedback speaks for itself!
We have grates that have been in operation since 2000 and no customer has reported burn through.
All our products are made with fully welded uncoated non-galvanized structural grade industrial carbon steel, and UL certified electrical components.
We use 100% renewable wind and hydro electricity in our shop, and when possible, we use re-purposed and recycled steel.
Here is how it works:
Our all steel design uses several perfectly sized heavy duty thick wall tubes for maximum heat exchanger surface area, superior airflow volume, minimum burn through, and maximum combustion area volume. The tubes are welded together forming a channel that is filled with cool home air. The tubes then heat the air as it passes through them. Hot air is then blown back into the your home with velocity. This adds conduction from the hot coal coals and convection from the flame, heating to the radiant heat of a fireplace, recovering otherwise lost energy or BTU from the embers and flame of your fire.
The AC fans plug into a standard 110 VAC wall outlet (DC optional for solar panel, wind, solar cell, photo voltaic cell off grid or grid tie applications), they are quiet running at a measured 50 db or less decibels, and rated at 100 CFM each. With the option of a variable speed fan control when mood is more important than heat output you can reduce the background hum of our heat exchangers in operation for the perfect ambiance.
Customers have observed how the warmth generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.
Production time? We normally keep these standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.
First in line is first in time, the sooner you order your Fireplace Grate Heater, the sooner you can start saving on the heating bill!

THis mantelpiece originally dominated the entrance hall of the residence ofCornelius Vanderbilt II on Fifth Avenue at Fifty-seventh Street which was demolished 1925-27.
Working for the architect George B. Post, the artist John La Farge (1835-1910) created a lavis decorative program, one of which is this Saint-Gauden mantelpiece.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's earliest roots date back to 1866 in Paris, France, when a group of Americans agreed to create a "national institution and gallery of art" to bring art and art education to the American people.
On March 30, 1880, after a brief move to the Douglas Mansion at 128 West 14th Street, the Museum opened to the public at its current site on Fifth Avenue and 82nd Street. The architects Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould designed the initial Ruskinian Gothic structure, the west facade of which is still visible in the Robert Lehman Wing. The building has since expanded greatly, and the various additions—built as early as 1888, now completely surround the original structure.
The Museum's Beaux-Arts Fifth Avenue facade and Great Hall, designed by the architect and founding Museum Trustee Richard Morris Hunt, opened to the public in December 1902. The Evening Post reported that at last New York had a neoclassical palace of art, "one of the finest in the world, and the only public building in recent years which approaches in dignity and grandeur the museums of the old world."
By the twentieth century, the Museum had become one of the world's great art centers.
Today, the Museum's two-million-square-foot building houses over two million objects, tens of thousands of which are on view at any given time.

Customers have observed how the warmth generated by these Heat Exchangers can circulate to the adjoining rooms in your home. A customer sent us many thanks when our grate prevented the freezing of his pipes in -20 weather when his natural gas furnace broke and the part was over a week away. This serves to increase the comfort of your entire home, conserve the amount of wood you burn, and nearly eliminate the need for other expensive methods of climate control such as electric heaters, heat pumps, corn or pellet stoves, and central air oil or gas furnaces.
Production time? We normally keep these standard sizes in stock and ready for immediate shipping.
