Fireplace: A bungalow feature

The fireplace for most designers of the arts & crafts movement was the heart of the home.

Around the fireplace, in reach of the crackling, warming flames, the cares and burdens of the outside world could be shrugged off.

Harking back to the earliest of human memories the fireplace was

seen as a necessary component for a true home.

Often flanked by built in, glass fronted bookcases, the fireplaces of

many bungalows still retain the certain something that embraces

the soul and warms the heart.
