So over the years during my research on a variety of historic buildings, I came across a house that had been built in 1790, in Eastern PEI, and the fireplace was still there. The whole house had fallen down around it but the fireplace was there and I could see how the fireplace had been constructed 200 years earlier. So we used a lot of those details in building this new fireplace - complete with hearth, and crane - this is the fireplace crane. The fireplace crane still existed for that 1790 house and we were able to get some basic details from that, which we used in creating the new crane for the fireplace.
