Now they don't make fireplaces like that anymore.I'm assuming this must be handmade.Mass produced goods don't have that kind of quality.

It looks like someone removed the heart of the fireplace though... and did not care to clean up the debris...it was probably an expensive marble or stone...

You can tell this was private at one time from the fancy things like this.

Looks a bit like my fireplace... cleaner, obviously, but not unlike mine.

And generally nicer.

Brad and Sage: I don't believe in taking things out of buildings like this, as it's stealing. However, if I knew this building was going to be torn down next week, and they weren't allowing people to attempt to salvage first, yes I would probably take this too. It is too beautiful to allow it to be destroyed for no good reason. But as long as this building isn't in danger of being destroyed, you should leave it alone. It doesn't belong to you.

Then again, how do you go about stealing a fireplace anyway? Seems kinda big to be sneaking out with...

Long Island -- why do you ask? Did Alice go up the fireplace? Please 'splain.

It's more the colors than anything else and the big door/ little door thing. The fire place looks kind of out of sink. The imagery just reminded me of that movie for some odd reason. The colors maybe...

Ohh, I had an almost identical fireplace in the house I grew up in, in Brooklyn, NY, except that the checkerboard pattern on ours was different greens. Fond memories.
