This fireplace was originally created by my great great grandparents. I posted about it a while ago in the Saturday pet wood thread. I then found the picture. Here it is! flic.kr/p/2mqGtnw |

That's very cool! Do you live in that house now? If you do, I think that is soooooo awesome.

Would love to visit it in real life. That's too bad. My ancestral family home, with exposed barn beams, built in the late 1700s has also left the family, but the new owners have not changed it. They are preserving it, which I find admirable since the land is worth millions. I have lots of old pics from when we visited when I was a kid. I loved that house. One day, maybe I can knock on the door and see inside. On another family line, the old house is still in the family and has been faithfully restored. So beautiful. |

Looks like a painting of the Tetons above the fireplace.

That is very cool. I wonder if the Christmas agate is still there?

That is very cool. I wonder if the Christmas agate is still there? I wish I knew if it is even still intact. Out of curiosity, which one is the Christmas agate? |

Wow! That is very cool and that looks almost like ours. This place was built in 1953 and this is one of the reasons I was so drawn to it  |

It would be cool if it were still on display. It took me a couple of read throughs to realize what you meant 🤦♂️. I thought Christmas agate was a specific agate type! 😂 |
