Limestone fireplace is an structure built into many homes, consisting of a space designed to contain an open fire, generally for heating but sometimes also for cooking. After the workday, it is often the place a family meets at night before retiring to sleep. In colder climates throughout the world, the fireplace or hearth has traditionally been the central feature of the household, as it gives warmth to aid survival through an extended winter.
The sensation of direct heat, and the mesmerizing leaps and flickers of a wood fire, make its use enjoyable in cold conditions even today. Fireplaces made up of limestone are used for conversation, planning, or celebration in a more intimate fashion.
